A TALE

FOR THE NINETEENTH CENTURY.

BY

CHARLES FRANCIS TROWER.

"It seemeth, that this word (hotchpot) is in English a pudding;
for in this pudding is not commonly put one thing alone, but one
thing with other things together."-LITTLETON, Sect. 267.

Hutspot is an old Saxon word, and signifieth so much as Little-

ton here speaks."-COKE upon Littleton, 177 a.
