THE ORTHOGRAPHIC RIDDLE.

PREFACE.

These emanations of the British Muse,
Where English thoughts could English dress refuse,
Were once presented to another press,
Though thence borne back, as hopeless of success.
What honest critic e'er could credit eligible,
Riddles to his researches unintelligible?
