Adelaide, South Australia.

_Hogan._--

"For your reputation we keep to ourselves your not hunting nor

drinking hogan, either of which here would be sufficient to lay

your honor in the dust."

This passage occurs in a letter from Gray to Horace Walpole in 1737. Can

any subscriber state what "hogan" was, the not drinking of which was "to

lay your honor in the dust?"
