No. XXIII.—THE PICK OF THE PACK
How can we decide by anagram whether this is a fancy portrait of “William or dear Jack?”
Shake up and recast the words in inverted commas.
15. AN OLD ENIGMA
Can our readers solve this enigma, which was published in 1811, and to which no answer seems to be known?
I’m one among a numerous host,
And very useful in my post;
There’s not a house in all the land
Without me properly can stand.
Though men disputed long ago
Whether I did exist or no,
Once more some thousands have been slain
Because they could not me attain.
