The word ae- enigmatized (if I may be allowed the expression) le
mot de l'enigme as the french call it, I give you in a
distant place in red Ink, not to forestall you in your conjectures.
{My first is a toy I.} 1st Syllable
{My second is less than a name} 2d Syllable
{My third is nothing} Whole word
This has two properties
in it which have real
merit. The first is it's conciseness. The 2d the connection between in
point of sense between the three staves members of it; together with the
anticlimax which they express. The defect of it is that the
descriptions if such they may be called are so extremely vague
(at least that of the second member is) the analogy between the
type and the thing typified so weak [that you have as to give you] scarce
any ground to build your conjectures on. The second member
one might be an age before one guessed.
II.
{My first is the name of an Italian River
{My second is the name of a Dog.
{My third is made to be burnt.
These were the flower of the flock.
Nares you know perhaps is a Poet and has written a play.
