Hence it would seem that among the many impositions, or shams, a? j Pack Lloyd and Wieland
Mr. C&rlyle calls them, of tie present d»y, are to be reckoned false j To Bath, or New Zealand,
Crimean beards; but the question is, whether the beards are false as
beard*, or false in pretending to be Crimean ? The experiment of
pulling the beard would be a test of its physical reality, and a con-
vincing demonstration of its Cn'mean genuineness would probably be
obtained by the same process—which would on that account be dan-
gerous.
