Note 4 — TO WALTER MARROWFAT, GARDENER TO HIS GRACE THE D— OF B— —H.

The following anecdote, with many others equally interesting, is recorded in a very rare work, to be found in few collections, however excellent. A gentleman and his friend, passing along Oxford Road, were stopped by an immense crowd near Hyde Park, and, on inquiring into the cause, were told that a person of the name of Vowel was leading to execution at Tyburn. “I wonder what vowel it can be,” (cried the one). “It is neither U nor I, (replied the other), so let us pass on.” Joe Miller, a very old edition.
