“ On referring to the page (216) alluded to and to my MSS. I find a whole line has been omitted. My notes show (line 22) , "but not a bit better one than the other. I need not trouble you with Gamand-gamanam," &c. The omission of these few words has caused this heartburning.The criticisms to which I alluded were that the learned professor was said to be afflicted with the craze of wishing to have an Indian college at Oxford, and that the hat was going round for subscriptions. The Anglo-Indian public, which loves its joke, converted his Gamand gamanam into our homely word "gammon." ”
