The Anatomy of Tobacco
the van of battle for the Orthopoetics, seizes as with a vice upon this very expression "pipe-bowl," and shows it to be a compound substantive, in which "pipe" used as an adjective defines and limits the substantive bowl, and is a term of wider distribution than bowl. And since the term "pipe" extends more widely than "bowl," it follows that there are some pipes which have not bowls; and therefore that, so far from a bowl containing the whole essence of a pipe, there is no reason why a pipe should
have a bowl at all. (See diagram.[1]) Next he proceeds by analogy, and chooseth
- ↑ In this diagram the larger circle (A) comprehends all pipes, the smaller circle (C) all bowls; while the space within the circumferences of both circles (B) denotes all pipe-bowls. So it is evident there are some pipes wholly distinct and separated from bowls, and therefore a bowl is no essential part of a pipe.
