_Titles of Peers who are Bishops_ (Vol. iii., p. 23.).--Why is Lord Crewe

Derry?

_At Sixes and Sevens._--Shakspeare uses the well-known adage--"at sixes and
sevens;" Bacon, Hudibras, Arbuthnot, Swift, all use the proverb. Why should
sixes and sevens be more congruous with disorder than "twos and threes?"
and whence comes the saying?
