The letter to John Wallingford, was as pithy as his own to me.

He was as coarse and as pithy in expression, but with more wit, a better education, more complete command of language, and a greater variety of resources.

Manso has left a collection of one hundred of his pithy sayingsa suspicious amount, and unfortunately more than warranting the suspicion; for almost every one of them is traceable to some other man.

I suspect that if, during his active-service days, some Member had proposed a similar restriction on the movements of the Fleet the comments of the gallant Commander himself would have been more pithy than Parliamentary.
