something more than that. Out of 33
recruits, of various trades, there are four
shoemakers, and no less than five tailors,
whilst the number of shoe-makers is
equalled only by that of the bakers. Here
is one more fact in proof of the martial
and pugnacious turn which has been lately
discovered to characterize tailors and shoe-
makers ; especially tailors: a fact in
singular contradiction to the antiquated
idea, which imputed peculiar meekness
and pusillanimity to those craftsmen.

recruits is not surprising: they are in a measure inured to ser-
vice by having to stand fire: but what it is that inflames _ the
breast of the shoemaker and tailor, particularly, with military
ardour, philosophy fails to discover. The suggestion that the
shoemaker, from the material on which he operates, derives a fancy
for leathering the enemies of his country, appears far fetched, and
little better can be said for the supposition, that the tailor has con-
stantly an object in view which inspires him with a desire to cook
their goose.
