Our readers are aware that certain initial
letters are used to express learned and pro-
fessional titles; as M. D. Doctor of Medi-
cine; A. M. Master Of Arts, &c. Some
years ago we saw pre6xed to persons
name the four initials D. d. D. D. We af-
terwards saw these letters developed in some
book, in this Dignuns Del Domums
Dedit. Those who know our utter detesta-
ton of the pedantry of those modern scrib-
blers, who introduce untranslated sentences
of latin, &c. in order to attain fictitious
eminence, by the most absurd mystifcation,
will not suspect us of quoting the above hard
words for any such purpose. We suppose
our scholars would translate the above
g He gave a gift to the honor of God"-
We are ignorant for what purpose, and in
what age, the above title vas given. We,
therefore, invite our correspondents, or those
that choose to become so, to inform us whe-
ther this was conferred on the clergy or lai-
ty? To what church, if any, is it peculiar,
and what services entitled the recipient to


its honors.
