"There is one essential point wherein a political liar differs from others of the faculty that be c.uju to have but a short memory, which is necessary according to the various occasions he meets with every hour of differing from himself, and sw earing to both sides of a contradiction, as be finds tiie persons disposed, with whom he hath to deal." Few lies carry the inventor's mark, the lo-'St prostitute enemy to truth may spread a thousand without being known for tbe author. Besides, a the vilest writer hath his readers, so 1 he greatest liar hath his believers; and it often happens, thai if a lie be believed only for an hour, it hath done its work, aud there is no further occasion for it. Falsehood flies, and truh comes limping after it so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale has had its effect."
