King's College, London, July 12. 1850.
_Ventriloquism_ (Vol. ii., p. 88.).--Mr. SANSOM will find some curious
information touching the words [Hebrew: 'or], [Greek: eggastrimuthos],
&c., in Dr. Maitland's recent _Illustrations and Enquiries relating to
Mesmerism_, pp. 55. 81. The Lexicons of Drs. Lee and Gesenius may also
be consulted, under the word [Hebrew: 'or]. The former of these
lexicographers would rank the Pythian priestess with "our modern
conjurers."
