The Lobster in the Medal of the Pretender

The "Notes" by your correspondents, Mr. Edward Hawkins and Mr. J. B. Yates, relative to this medal, are very curious and interesting, and render it probable that the device of the Lobster has a religious rather than a political allusion. But it strikes us that the double introduction of this remarkable emblem has a more important signification than the mere insidious and creeping characteristics of Jesuitism. The lines beneath the curious print in Brandt's Stultifera Navis throw no light on the meaning of the Lobster. We think the difficulty yet remains unsolved.
