ANISE, an herb very well known, which produces small seeds of a very good smell. Our Lord reproaches the Pharisees with their scrupulous exactness in paying tythe of Anise, Mint and Cummin, while they neglected Justice, Mercy and Faith, which Matth. xxiii. 23. Tobit i. 1, 2, &c. Ch. xi. 19.were the more essential practices of Religion.
