E. G. BALLARD.
_Jeroboam of Claret, &c._ (Vol vii., p.528.).--Is a _magnum_ anything
more than a bottle larger {422} than those of the ordinary size, and
containing about two quarts; or a _Jeroboam_ other than a witty conceit
applied to the old measure _Joram_ or _Jorum_, by some profane
_wine-bibber_?
