SIR,—How are the mighty fallen! Taper has clever and amusing

things to say about the ignorance of Members of Parliament, and then describes them as ignorami. This is equivalent to the howler committed by the man who talked about 'omnibi' in the days when the omnibus was a new invention.—Yours faithfully,
