Excerpt from Shakespeare's Legal Acquirements Considered

Pointing out Shakespeare's frequent use of law-phrases, and the strict propriety with which he always applies them, the chief justice may be likened to the cobbler, who, when shown the masterpiece Of a great painter, representing the Pope surrounded by an interesting historical group, could not be prevailed upon to notice any beauty in the painting, except the skilful structure of a slipper worn by his Holiness.

If he had said a "pebble" the word would have been more appropriate. But the hope of making any addition, even if infinitesimally small, to this great national monument, is enough to induce me to follow my friend's advice, although I am aware that by the attempt I shall be exposed to some peril.
