It was his pride to know by heart all the acts relating to his department, and to bring them down upon any obstinate head that he wished to crush. Ginx's head, however, was impervious to an act of parliament. In his then temper, the Commination Service or St. Ernulphus's curse would have been feathers to him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
