casually omitted, or since obliterated, means form, written Foume
below, and in No. 195.

perpetually in our Roll and the Editor's Ms. Every one may not have
adverted to it; but this character is the ground of our present

being evidently only an altered and more modern way of writing þ.

vyander, a curious epicure, an Apicius. V. Preface.
