H. Y.

[These "No-Popery" hieroglyphics first appeared in the reign of Charles

II. during the debates on the Exclusion Bill, and were chalked over all

parts of Whitehall and the Houses of Parliament. O B. C. Y. was then

the inscription, which meant, "O Beware of Catholic York." On their

re-appearance in 1809 the Y. was much taller than the B. C.; but the

use and meaning at this time of these initials still remains a query.]

some periodical, and afterwards appeared in a collected form.
