The Roman emperors, indeed, gave large donatives to the citizens and soldiers, but these distributions were always reckoned rather popular than virtuous: nothing more was intended than an ostentation of liberality nor was any recompense expected but suffrages and acclamations. Idler, No. 4. On the one hand, the acceptance of that gift by Mr. Hastings must have pledged a tacit faith for some degree of indulgence towards the donor: if it was a free gift, gratitude; if it was a bargain, justice obliged him to it.

First, there is a great number of gentlemen which cannot other have laboured for-their tenants. I mean. be content to live idle themselves, like dorrers, of that which Sir T. More. Utopia, b. i. by Robinson The dor, (says Gifford,) is the chaffer; and the allusion, to which Jonson is never weary of recurring, is to the desultory flight of this insect, which appears to mock, or play upon the passenger, by striking him on the face, and then fitting away preparatory, as it were, to a fresh attack. To this Cowley alludes: "A hundred businesses of other men fly continually about his head and ears, and strike him in the face like dorres." Essays on Liberty. Jonson always connects the idea of tricking, or outwitting, with dorring. Buzzing, the prevailing term for deceiving, in Addison's days, as well as that most hateful vulgarism, humming, sa fashionable in our own, derived its origin from the same respectable source, and both refer to this imaginary mockery in the "droning flight" of the beetle.
