A fragmentary Latin excerpt from 18th century typography, dated Saturday October 4 1755, presents a concealed inquiry and admonitions about secrecy and integrity. The line preserves a classical dedication to Epaminondas and a personal address to a nephew, reflecting antiquarian learning.
The narrator travels to Worcester to visit Carl Ofellus a hospitable neighbor with a clever but modest mind. He compares him to the old Roman Abnormis sapiens noting little schooling but sharp mother wit and recalls meeting him after years away from London. The scene blends casual talk and familiar custom with light satire.
