Abstract: Dr. Johnson thought that a pax was a pyx, and amended Shakespeare accordingly. Since the issue of the Dictionary, however, the pax has more than once been thesubject of communications by Fellows of our Society, and the ‘Ignorance, madame, sheer ignorance’ to which the Doctor might have pleaded would now be more difficult to excuse. Nevertheless, the salient features in the usage and history of the pax may perhaps be restated very briefly.
