Bull, John (British symbolic character, 1712) | ||
Note: Character invented by the Scottish mathematician and physician John Arbuthnot as a character in an extended allegory in 1712; he appeared as an honest clothier, bringing action with his linen-draper friend Nicholas Frog (Holland) against Lewis Baboon (Louis XIV) for interfering with trade. The wide circulation of the satire fixed Bull as a popular personification in 18th-century political writings. He is usually depicted as a stout, middle-aged, country dwelling, jolly, matter-of-fact man. | |
