Credit


AMONG the witty aphorisms upon this unsafe topic, are Lord Alvanley's

description of a man who muddled away his fortune in paying his

tradesmen's bills; Lord Orford's definition of timber, an excrescence

on the face of the earth, placed there by Providence for the payment of

debts; and Pelham's argument, that it is respectable to be arrested,

because it shows that the party once had credit.
