disappear as it were. "The mighty Tottipottimoy," says Hudibras (part ii.

know whether this is a real name or only an imitation of North-American

phraseology; the appellation of an individual, or a title of

office:"--Tottipottimoy was king of the warlike and powerful Parnunkies,

and was defeated and slain by the Virginians, commanded by Colonel Hill, in

the action from which Bloody Run takes its name.]

[Footnote 3: There is a curious passage in the Westover MSS. concerning

William Penn, of which Mr. Macaulay should have a copy, unless one has been

already sent to him.]
