A clear case of propheteering.

THE PRIVILEGES OF MARGOTISM.
[Something was said in Punch last week about the advantage to the reminiscencer of being his (or her) own Johnson and Boswell too. Mrs. Asquith's recent adventures with the descendants of some of her late friends, of whose fair fame they are not less jealous than she, suggest certain of the pitfalls incident to this double rôle, particularly when the autobiographer is remote from his (or her) journals. Since however an inaccuracy always has a day's start and is never completely overtaken, while in course of time the pursuit ceases altogether, the greatest danger is not immediate but for the future. Let us imagine a case.]
