_Fiz-gig_ (Vol. ii, p. 120).--I had expected that your Querist C.B.

would have received an {238} immediate reply to his Query as to the

meaning of _fiz-gig_, because the word is in Johnson's _Dictionary_,

where he may also see the line from Sandys' _Job_, in which it caught

his attention.

You may as well, therefore, tell him two things,--that _fiz-gig_ means a

fish-cart and that Querists should abstain from soliciting your aid in

all cases where a common dictionary would give them the information they

want.
