climacteric, for its three years of infancy passed under the name of
_The Universal Register_, it having only received its present
appellation in the opening of 1788. _The Morning Advertiser_ is wearing
away its 54th year.

_The Public Ledger_, commenced in 1759, or 1760, is however, the oldest
Daily Paper.

_Dorne the Bookseller--Henno Rusticus, etc._

Sir,--In answer to W. in page 12. of No. 1, I beg to suggest that
Dormer, written Dõmr in the MS.--a common abbreviation--may be the name
of the Oxford bookseller, and _Henno Rusticus_ may be _Homo rusticus_,
"the country gentleman." The hand-writing of this MS. is so small and
illegible in some places, that it requires an Oedipus to decipher it;
and the public will have much reason to thank those lynx-eyed
antiquaries who have taken great pains to render it intelligible. "The
_Sige_ of the End," is of course properly explained to be "the Signe of
the End."
