"Πιστις," unde deriv.—Scapula and Hederic both give πειθω as the root; but by what process is πιστις so obtained? What objection is there to taking ἱστημι as the root? whence εφισταμαι, επιστας, πιστος. No doubt one of your learned readers will kindly aid the inquiry.

Snush.—When did this name cease to be used for snuff? I think I have met with it as late as the reign of Queen Anne. I believe the Scotch call snuff snish, or snishen.
