ORIGIN OF EPITHET "FACTOTUM."
Sir,—The following expression in Cavendish's Life of Wolsey, p. 42.—"He was Dominus fac totum with the king"—seems to point us to some ecclesiastical origin for the derivation of our familiar word "factotum." Does any one know the precise whereabouts of such a phrase in the Ancient Service books?
