Quere this case for
Of one preventive alone could the idea be endured. A hollow
For each individual a hollow cube of which the boundaries
were of stone, and that stone of such thickness that the parable
of Pyramus and Thisbe would agree on the sufficiency of it.
The expence of this remedy though it sufficed to render it inapplicable
would not for nothing could have sufficed for defending the sup

A well known instrument a Spanish padlock
would have might have been endured with equal efficiency. But
the padlock might have called forth a smile: and the Stone
