=Pausa'nias= (_The British_), William Camden (1551-1623). Pausanias was a

of Greece. Camden wrote in Latin his "Brittania," a survey of the
British Isles.

=Pauvre Jacques.= When Marie Antoinette had her artificial Swiss village
in the "Little Trianon," a Swiss girl was brought over to heighten the
illusion. She was observed to pine, and was heard to sigh out, _pauvre
Jacques_! This little romance pleased the queen, who sent for Jacques,
and gave the pair a wedding portion; while the Marchioness de Travanet

Poor Jack, while I was near to thee,

But now thou dwell'st so far from me,

=Pawkins= (_Major_), a huge, heavy man, "one of the most remarkable of the
age." He was a great politician and great patriot, but generally under a
cloud, wholly owing to his distinguished genius for bold speculations,
not to say "swindling schemes." His creed was "to run a moist pen slick
through everything, and start afresh."--C. Dickens, _Martin Chuzzlewit_
(1844).

=Pawnbrokers' Balls.= The gilded balls, the sign of pawnbrokers, are the
