HE NAMED ENGLAND
JOHN BULL
The name of John Bull, meaning
: Great Britain, comes from n sketch
, written by John Arbuthnot, a witty
! doctor and author. Arbuthnot was
I bora in 1607.. in .Scotland and died
in 1735. The sketch that he wrote
dealt with the political affairs of
Europe at the time. The countries
ere made to appear as if they were
men and women.
In Arbuthnot’s sketch, England
was John Bull and Queen Anne was
Mrs Bull. Scotland was John Bull’s
sister Peg. England, in this char
acter, appeared good natured, but
not without faults. As roast beef is
a national dish, the name of Bull
■nswered very well.
