The Origin of “Gotham.”
Washington Irving in “Salmagundi,”
a humorous work, applied the name of
New York to signify that the inhabit¬
ants were given to undue pretensions to
wisdom. This definition of the word ia
taken from a story regarding the inhab¬
itants of Gotham, a parish in Notting¬
hamshire, England, who were their as re¬
markable for their stupidity as con¬
ceit. The story relates that when King
John was about to pass through Gotham
toward Nottingham he was prevented by
the inhabitants, who thought the ground
over which a king passed became forever
a public road. When the king sent to
punish them they resorted to an expedient
to avert their sovereign’s wrath. Ac-
cording to this, when they arrived they
found the people each engaged in some
foolish occupation, so they returned to
cojirt and reported that Gotham was a
village of fools. In time a book ap-
peared entitled “Certain Merry Tales of
; Gotham.” Among
the Mad Men of
' these tales is the story of “The Three
Wise Men of Gotham,” who went to sea
