When George Faulkner trie printer returned from London w here lie had been'solicitiiig sub scriptions iqr'his'editioii of the Dean's works, he went to pay his respects to hurt, dressed in a laceJ waisicoaf, a bag wig, and other fopperies. Swift received him with the same ceremonies as if he had been a stranger. " And orav, sir." said ho, "what are yoir commands; with me?", "Ii thought it was my du'y, sir,' replied George, 44 to wait on you immediately on my arrival from London." "Pray sir, who an? ou?" "George Faulkner the printer, sir," " You George Faulk ner, the printer t why you are the most impu dent, hare-faced scoundrel of an imposter I have ever inet with ! George Faulkner is a plain sober citizen, and would never trick himself out in lace, and other fopperies. Get you gone you ras cal, or I will immediately send you to the house, of correction."
