HENRY H. BREEN.

St. Lucia.

{377}

_Ampers_ & (Vol. ii., pp.230. 284.; Vol. viii., pp. 173. 223. 284.).--Allow

me to thank both [Phi]. and MR. HENRY WALTER for their replies to my Query;

but I am unhappily no wiser than MR. LOWER was after [Phi].'s first

response. What on earth "et-per-se" or "and-per-se-and" can mean, I am at a

loss to imagine. Why should _et_ be called "_et_ by itself?" Until this

Query is answered, I am as much in the dark as ever. While I am upon the

matter, I would farther ask this mysterious _Ampers and_, "who gave thee

that name?" May it find a proxy to answer for it!
