The History ofthe Rabbis , the . Ribs , and the Rubs , with an account ofthe Trinity Brethren , or Rabbi-Rib-Riibs , and a short notice of the Rubs . By Grotius Gallipotius , Histriographer to the Royal Colleges . In a certain mysterious society , there is the phrase " nil nisi clavis deest . " AA e are glad that the facetious Grotius Gallipotius has not supplied the key to one of the most satirical allegories that have appeared
since the clays of Swift , because a little mystery excites much curiosity . The differences in the medical profession could no longer be permitted , and it became necessary to bring the subject before parliament . The author has , with considerable humour , touched on the times ancl circumstances of the squabbles that have occurred ; and , if he has spared no one , he has , with remarkable tact , avoided the difficulty of detraction . Some home thrusts he has given , it is true ; and , to mark his disgust at
one who , at a fell swoop , kicked clown the ladder by which he rose , he jocularly alludes to a " King ' s evidence ! " From certain affinities , we shrewdly guess Grotius to have been fed on the Oxford sausage , rather the Cambridge brawn ; for , even learning hath a bias , which , like the "jack at bowls , " wins after its own way . It is evident that the learning of the scholar has tempered the wit of the author . The Profession can read and understand at a glance what
the popular world will be sufficiently interested in , to require of their respective Rabbis , Ribs , llabs , or Rabbi- Rib-Rabs , or Rubs , an explanation of those allegories , which some of the physicians , surgeons , apothecaries , general practitioners , or accouchuers may probably blush to afford . We look to Grotius to give another series of his allegories , ancl the expected coquetting of the monitor and the steward in April , will present a good theme .
