"Impertinent again and ignorant to me! Gadsbodikins, you puny upstart
in the law to use me so, you _green bag_ carrier, you murderer of
unfortunate causes," &c.
Farther on, in the same scene, Freeman, a gentleman well educated, but of a
broken fortune, a complier with the age, thus admonishes Jerry:
"Come, Squire, let your mother and your trees fall as she pleases,
rather than wear this gown and carry _green_ bags all thy life, and be
pointed at for a tony. But you shall be able to deal with her yet the
common way. Thou shalt make false love to some lawyer's daughter, whose
father, upon the hopes of thy marrying her, shall lend thee money and
law to preserve thy estate and trees."

innumerable other similar applications--is brought within the reach of any
one who possesses a small achromatic object-glass of an inch or an inch and
a half in diameter, and a brass tube, with slides before and behind the
lens of a fitting diameter to receive the plate or plates to be operated
upon,--central or nearly central rays only being required. The details are
too obvious to need mention.--I am, &c.
