What has the law of logic to do with fat beef?
The name of his famous hotel is "THE BULL AND MOUTH;" and few in London have attained to its celebrity as a historical building.

One is apt to wonder if this precedence given to the beast is really incidental, or adopted to give euphony to the name of an inn, or whether there is a latent and spontaneous leaning to such a method of association, from some cause or other connected with perceptions of personal comfort afforded at such establishments.

Accidental or intentional, this form of association is very common.

There is no tavern in London better known than The Elephant and Castle, a designation that would sound equally well if the two substantives were transposed.

Even the loftiest symbols of sovereignty often occupy the secondary place in these compound titles.
