The fame abfurd farce was played in Scot- land, upon the body of Logan of Reflairig, feveral years after his interment. The body of Tancred King of Sicily was raifed from the grave, and the head cut off for fuppofed rebellion. Henry IV. Of Caflile was depofed in abfence/j but, lor a colour of juftice, the following ridiculous fcene was acled. A wooden ftatue drefied in a royal habit, was p...laced on a theatre ; and the fentence of depofition was folemnly read to it, as if it had been the King himfelf. The Archbifhop of Toledo feized the crown, another the fceptre, a third the fword ; and the ceremony was concluded with proclaiming ano- ther king. How humbling are fuch fuch fcenes to man, who values himfelf upon the faculty of reafon as his prime attribute ! An expedient of that kind would now be rejected with difdain, as fit only to amufe. Children ; and it grieves me to obferve that law-proceedings are not yet totally purged of fuch abfurdities.
