word* have caused not a little trouble
to the critics, and for this reason, that
they know not what palfrey really is.
It has been suggested that palfrey is a
clerical error made by the doctor him
self for past ry. But the doctor wrote so
legibly, and there is so much difference
between the words palfrey and pastry
that this position is not at all tenable.
Palfrey is defined in Johnson’s cele
brated dictionary as “a small horse fit
for ladies,’’ and some have thought that
the doctor (whose feats as a trencher
man were notorious) may have broken
•i record on the day in question and dis
posed of a small horse. All these and
other conjectures are wrong, and we
will proceed to give the correct expla
nation.
The word palfrey (sometimes pam-
frey by the interchange of I and m) is
still in use among the rustics of Scot
land and the north of Ireland, and
means young cabbages when they firs!
coine to table in the spring. Such cab
bages have not begun to “close,” or be
come solid in the center. They are gen
erally spoken of as “early pamfrey” and
are considered a luxury. Dr. Johnson
probably picked up the w’ord from his
old friend Boswell or from some other
Scotch acquaintance.

the grandees of Spain. According to
this magazine, the Spanish nobility at

snobs, masters and servants living to

that will do!”

The next morning the western man
