Dr. Gifford was one day showing the British Museum to some strangers, he was much shocked by the profane language of a young gentleman belonging to the party. Taking down an ancient copy of the Septuagint, he showed it to the youth, who, on seeing it, exclaimed, "Oh! I can read this." "Then," said the doctors "read that passage," pointing to the Third Commandment.
