,to fee them ~.. into the prefem Ferm, are the
Reafons which induced the EDIT 0 R toundert;lke this
Edition of the UnkJer[a1 Advertifir. Though the
fevera) Pieces therein contained are manifefily well '
calculated for Infl:ruaion and AmufeineQt, and re-

yet, unlicenced by them, we c~ <!nly obferve, that

to be alike l:aTelefs of Profit or Applaufe; and who
,rent us thefe and other Pieces, on a Motive only of
ferving the Friends, and expofing the, Enemies, of
his Country. How well they are. written, others
may know on ,perl1fing them '; but how quickly they
were written, none but the EDITOR. knows; and .
it is. but Juilice to the Author to have the Publick ac-

fuppofed to be the Produaions of a Ge.ntleman,
not more remarkable for his political W ritirlgs, ..-

SIR,
O M E late ~eries in fome News Paper,
relatiag to the Honoqrable Compan y of Game-
~. fters, have induced me to trouble you with
r fome ReDIaI'" on Gaming, which I thr<>w
together without any EJ:peClation of reclaiming one
ingle Gameier, either Male or Female; but in hope
thit the uninfefud may Ihun the PlagHe, and keep
clear of a Diftemper, which will laft for Life, if it
once feizes them.
I SHALL paG by the moral:md religiolU Part of the
Sobje&, filch as 1.015 of Time, Health, Virtue,

thing wone in the other, with Things of that Sort; be-
caufe'Iobferve your Men of Fire don't much regard·:
.them, and are, indeed, but the dull Leffons of Ortho-
dox Divines, .and peevi/b Moralills; nor /ball I hint to
the Ladies, Lofs of Beauty, good Humour, and good
Hufbands, which are the certain Confequences of this fatal'
Attachment; but will content myfelf with proving one
fingle Point, that every Man and Woman, who Game
to excefs, mull bid Adieu to every Pleafure of Life: t
entreat, therefore, they will not be ftartled at fo ftrange a
Pofition, but give me their Patience to the End of a
fbort Paper, and I will abide their Judgment, without
infill:ing on their Confeffion. _
IT is a Maxim needs no Proof, that all Pleafures re-
quire a vacant MiJ,d,. a Mind ready to entertain every
pleating Idea, not prepoifeifed, much lefs engroifed, by
any commanding Paffion; be the. prevailing Paffion
what it wiU, Love or Malice, Grief or Fear, if it
grow Extreme, it excludes, and deQies Admillion to
every other;. the Manpoife/[eG with it 1s 'out of the
World, n~r can he attend to any Thing elfe, or con..
fider it with Satisfaftion; even his Meat and Drink don't
re1iili. But, a Pallion for Gaming takes more entire
Po6"effion of us than any other, becaufe, properly
(peaking, it is not one Pamon, but all the bad Pallions .
united in one. The Mind of a Gamell:er then muft be
lefs vacant than any other, lefs prepared to receive the
• flighter SatisfaCtions which are hourly to be met with in
facial Life, and,make up nine Parts in ten of the little
Happinefs given us. . To be always in Tranfports is
Nonfenfe, . and Contradiction eV.en in fuppofing it; and
if nothing clfe will fatisfy Peopl~,' Human Life will be
well nigh a Blank. Now, a Gamell:er is lefs ca,pablo
than any to reliili thefe fmaller Del.lghts; he can take no
Pleafure in any thing but Gaming: Wine and Women
are but feeble Recl'&a.tions, to a Mind wafte4 witb
Anxiety

Anxiety and Defpair. Gaming then mult be the onl,
Cute, as well as the Diftemper, of a Game-fick Mind,
nothing elfe bn roufe EXJ1CClation, or engage Attention.
The Entertainments of Balls and Theatres are too lan.o
guid, Mufick infipid, the fineft rural Scenes or Gardens,.
that ufed to glad the Heart, and frill the Pallions, are
now become odious, aad even tbe Light of the Sun in-:

As to the Lady Gamefters, they are LUll more piti-
able. DomelticJoy (which if you'll take their Word
ror it, is all they look for) Hed for ever; and Home as.
..difagreeable as a HouCe of Correction. Children, if
ever feen, but little thought of, and conlidered as an
ex:penlive Incumbrance; a Hulband, as a Steward t6 get
in Rents, and father Debts of his Lady'S begetting.
Are they Virgin Gamelters? Bred up at Drums? They
mufr expeCt to hear but little of the Voice of Love,
and indeed to lofe all Pretenfionsof infpiring it. They
may be called Angels by Platotfick Lovers, which, I
pawn my Word to them, molt Gamefters are, bllt wilt
lye long on Hand e're they can fix a Meffmate; and
ogaming Maidens have the le aft ReaCon of all others to
be offended at the Indifference of young Gentlemen to
Marriage, which they themCelves chiefly occalion.
Thus will their Days of Bloom be loft, and farther, they
muil: loCe even the Happinefs of their Dreams, which is
thought to be no Trifle during the Teens, and have
their Slumbers interrupted by the croffeft Cards Imagina-
tion can impoCe on them: Whereas if they employed
their Minds on more natural Objects, they would find
0

themfelves nightly in enchanting Groves. repofing on

Beds of Flowers, and hearing Tales of Love from
amorous Swains. I appeal to every Female Game{h~r •.

not delay the Publication of my Invention, which take
as follows. I pr<>pofe, that two great Pofts be erected,
one near the Light-houfe of HOIIth, and the -other at the
Weft End of Hollyhead, which Places are hut· twenty
Leagues afunder: To thefe ~ofts. I would have large
. Pullies fixed, through which an Inch Rope is to run
gently acmfs. the ]"iJh Channel, in the Nature of a Jack-
Chain; fo that when one Rope is pulled. in, the other
__ will run out.· Now, if the Mail be incIofed in a tight
Barrel, and faftened to one of thofe Ropes, and the
other Rope be pulled in, it is evident that it will be
fafely brought over; and in order to fave Labour, I
would have the Machine worked by a WiRd-mill on
each Promontory, allifted bp Wheels, Leavers, and
the Force of other Mechanic Powers, for the Invention
(though not ~pplication) of which, our Countrymen
are celebrated; as may be feen by the Models of many
ufelefs ones, in the Vaults of a certain Building in
Coiiege-Creen: For though the Ropes' may be readily
pulled in, by the Strength. of Hands, yet as the Packet:.
Boats will be laid up, which will be a Lofsto [uch young

great Slacknefs of thefe Ropes there will be no Hin-

if the Barrelspe contrived to fink, there will be no
Danger of their being robb'd. I have calculated the,

SIR,
B EING one of your Subfcribers, I apprehend I
. have an equal Right with another to offer my
Advice, or give my Opinion, as to. any Particular
which may contribute to render your Paper ufefui
as well as entertaining, which I think is the Plan you fet
outon. In the Name therefore and Behalf of the Pub-
lic, (who, if tbey think at all, mull: certainly think as I
dO) I take upon me to infonn you, that we are by no
Means fatisfied with your furnithing us with Intelligences,
III lellfl eguo/ 10 thoft cDntained in any other puf,/ic Yehic!e
.j l{ew#, unlefs at the fame Time you place fuch FaCl:s
as you relate in a Point of LigJ!t different from any other
Paper. I am far fro.m meaning that you tbould invent
either FaCts or Circ:umll:ances, but only vary. as mucb
as poffible, from the common. Method, as to Diaio~
Manner, &c. As little would I require you to make .
RefleCtions on every interell:ing Article.. efpecially as the
Journalill:, hlving tong appropriated this Province to'
himfelf, might be apt to confider any Attempt of this
Kind as taking an· ilJegat, forcible Polfeffion. The
Truth is, I would bave you go a Step farther, point out
to us the bidden Caufes of Events, lay open the fecret
Springs and Motives of Action, unrayel the myfterious
Language of PolitiCians, and occafionally inftruct us a
little in Geo~raphy. As to the lall: mentioned Particular,
. the
 '.£JJe UNIVERSAL ADVERTISER.. 9.

Inftance, " we hear from Paris (the Metropolis ofFranct,)

~c." You who pafs your Time in tbe Eye oftbe World,
and are daily converfant with Men of Letters, are not
_ aware what great. Benefit we Country-Newfmongers
JlJould derive from fuch a Method; how many Wa~ers
would be faved among our Sunday Statermen. and how
many fuperfluous Altercations prevented, in which tOO'
often whofe Evenings are unprofitably Eonfumed. An·
eminent Tradefman here, who for near half a Century
paR has fetded the Affairs of Eur/lp~, was latdy indebtl!d
to the above Paper for a Difcovery, which, probably,
witLout its Affiftance, he woula never have been Mafter'
o£ It feerns he was utterly ignorant that by (I\is moft
Chriftian Maj~jI,) is conftantly to be underftood the
Empn'fJr of Morocco. The LsuJab/~ Con/OHS, likewife..
have been a Stumbling. Block to him from hfs very In-
. fancy, which, in all Likelihood, he would never have
been able to get over, had' not the Noife about the B.ar-
rack Affair I~ft Winter given him to underfiand, 1hat
.they meant no more tban certain Red/luhrs, or convenient
~artem for the Reception offmaIl Parties of his Majefty's
Troops. rhe Writer of the Utrecht Gazelle, on the
other Hand, proceeds on a quite oppotite Principle. He.
, takes it for grained, that aIr his Readers are ~ot only
thorough Mafters of Geography and 'Palitid:s;but to
well verfed likewife in fecret Hifiory, as renders ·it quite
unneceffary for him to mention the Names either of Pe~
wns or Places, Take the foHowing ExtraCt from tbe Ial.

A MONG the various Amufements with which this;
Town is fo abundantly furnifhed, I believe it may
fairly be allowed, that none are fo capable of affording- a
.rational and inftruClive Entertainment, as theatrical Per-
formances: And this, I think, may with the great!!T
Confidence' be afferted, as theprefent Manager has, with
uncommon Application as well as Judgment; effectually
rooted out many Jrr~ulatitiei and Allufes,- which had
been long complain'd of, .and whiah, indeed, caft a juft
Blemifh on- the Stage. But as abfolute Perfection is not
to be look'd for in any human InftitutioR, fo in the CalC
before us there frill remain fome Particulars which call
for a Reformation; two of the principal of which, I
&all beg Leave, thr.ough the Channel-of your Paper, to
p<>lnt out, as being equally indecent and difagreeable.
_ THE firft is an Indecency of a Iqpg Standing, and,
what is more, has been long /ince publickly cenfured; I
mea., the odious Cuftomof Servants beingpermitteato
. keep Places in the Iloxes;, and what renders the Matter
mu worfe is, that thofe Reprefentatives ar~ generally the
moft worthlefsand ill- bred Domefricks of the Family;
-By this Means Ladies of- the firO: Dill:inction, both fOll
Rank and Breeding, are fubject to the offenfwe Effluvia.

of Behaviour infeparable from Perfons of this Oafs, wha
are incapable of forming a jufi: Idea of that Refpect and
Decorum which are due to a public, but efpecially a JlO'"
lite A1fcmbly. With Regard \0 the Gentlemen, it is nGl&
~
 f'bt UNIVERSAL ADVERTIS1Ut. J7
to Ife fuppofed they are capable of even de6ring a' Place
to ~ kept for them to the Prejudice of a fair Lady; and
as to that amphib:ol:ls Generation. diftinguilhed by the
Ap}X'lJation of filii Genll"",n, they need be .at no
Trouble on that Account. being always fure of what•
. ever Room the Ladies can poffibly fpare, who, I fuppofe.
confider them only in the Light of nece1rary Appendages
.to ~eir Drefs and Equipage. However. if this Cuftom
annot we)) be intilely abolifhed at once, it certainly may
be laid under fuch Reftriaions as will render tbe Griev· .
anee complain'd of at leaft more tolerable; by obiiging,
iOrInftance. fuc:h Emiff'aries to withdraw after the firft:
Aa, and allow Ladies the Liberty of enjoying the R.c.
mainder of the Entertainment free from fuch a difagree.
able Incumbrance.
THE other Abufe, which requires an immediate Re·
gulaticm. takes its Rife· in the more exalted Regions ,.
the Theatre; and js an Irregularity, which. tho' it i.
perhaps. to be met with in other Theatres, as well as oun,
yet 1 mar venture to affirm not fo univerfally ; and this ia
no lefs than converting the Theatre into a Tipling.
houCe I fo that it is DOt uncommon for a {elea Junto to
repair to the Gallery.of a Play-houCe with {uch a Cargo
of ftrong l.iquors. as it wouldeltCeed the Bounds' of
Temperance to drink in any Place. The Confequence
of this 'brutifh Behaviour in Regard to all around them
is difturbing their Attention to the Performance, befides
~entimes fpoiling the Cloaths of fuch as happen unfor.
tunately to he placed near them; and the Ueas of dais
Theatrical· Tipling are ftnfi"" foil likewife by thofe in
the Boxes l:lnder them, and· indeed is a Practice to fcanda-
.Ious, as juftifies the feverell Cen(ure. It is with the
greateft.ReluClance I mention any thing that tends to the
Reproach or DifCredit of the fair Sex-; and yet the Truth
~ that the 1hameful Cuftom I am now fpeaking of is

FAME, when acquired, no Matter how, has always
proved an Over':'match for Relifon, till Time has applied
his Toachftone, and. proved the'Temper of the Metal.
In our Fits of Admiration, we can neither hear or .fee,
but t.he Beauty we admire, and the Voice that foaths;
nor will we Cuffer ourfe!ves to doubt, whether Appear-
ances are real or imaginary. Painted out by Our own
Pallions, and aided by the greateft Wits, no wonder he
poffetfed our Imagination intire. Pope and Swift were
in Potfeffion of our Senfes.which we durft not· ure till
authorifed by them, and joined by BO/;1fgbrolie; made fo
powerful a Triumvirate, tbat all Refiftance 'was vaiti.
Their Word was Law, and their Opinion Reafon; they'

.the Three, have in their beft Epiftles, improved the Idea .
We entertained of their Ability.
\b we may form a Judgment from anticst as well as
modem Letter-writers of Note, it will, I k)lS, be little:

ment. Of the fecond Kind are the Bulk of P/in/s, both
neenent in their Way, rave that the laft feems often-
times conceited, efpecially when he writ (as he often
md) . to a {harn Correfpondent. ArpIMlIto affiClllto, as
Era/IfIMl aifo remarks; which his noble Tranfiator
feems very well to have underftood, and was in the
Right to produce them as he found them.
IN each of thefe great Men. we find abundant Mat-
ler of Delight. In the firll are feen, the wUmeft:. Senti-
ments of Love for bis Country, and AffeCtion for his
Friends; filled with undiffembled Joy on their Profperity.
and penetrated with Grief in their DillrelS.. His Lan-
guage is the Language of the Heart, and his Semi-
m.ents· are the Voice of Nature. In PI;.., we fee fome-
thing of the fatriot, and Man of Bufi.nelS; but that is
not viewing him in the Light he would be feen. He de-
firea to appear bufied in the Friendfhips, and focial Of-
fices of private Life, and looking for Opportunities to
exert them. Jull, generous and humane in his Defigns
and Attions, which, it mull be owned, he refleas on
with fufficient Vanity, not only on OccaGons where his
Virtue appears, but in the little Decencies of common
• Life, where he always. did (and lets you know it) the:
very Thing he ought to have done. TulfJ too Was
'Vain; but he was vain by Intervals. Vanity in him,
was the Refult of RefleCtion on the great Things he had
done. In Pliny, it was the Motive to every Thing he
did. It was the Spring that fet all the Wheels in Mo-
tion, and take that away, you -made him good for
.nothing.

ttro's Times and his, might giv~ a different Call: to the
Manners, and even a different Shape to their Underftand-
iog. in P/;1!J's, Ro.., was changed, and the Scene he

Senat~ bu~ a Court to Regifter Arreti, and the Forum the

formerly been made for direaingthe Government of'

to affume the public Character of Tull.J j his Languag~, .
or his Sentiments, and the little of it P1i'!Y thought him-
kif obliged to affect, was no more than Moonfhine
without Heat, or native Lufrre. The Difference there-
fore obfervable between them, was the Difference of .
Times more than the Difference of Men i and I am per-
fuaded had Pli,,), lived in Tul[is'Times, he had been the
firfr at the Bar, without incurring either Banifhment or
Profcription. ,
FROlll thefe Circumfrances neceffarily enfned a Diffe-
l'ence in their Manners, as well as their Epijiles. In the
firfl:. in Tu'", is feen Senfe without Art or Study; in the
Sec.ond a kind of artificial Scnfe; yet under all the Dif-
advantages of the Age he lived in, it mufr be owned,
that in his Letters, as well as fome Parts of his Pa-
negyrick, Delicacy of Thought, Benevolence of Heart,
Elegance, if not Wit, and fometimes Humour, with

fhine out in very lively Colours.

IpllESuME it will be granted, Bolingbrolu in Arro-
gancy, PfJ/'I in Vanity, and Swift in Infolence, are true
Originals: The laft was probably the greatell:,Wit of his,
Time, but the firft was not the great~1l: Man, ,?r the fe-
cond, by Odds, the greatell: Poet, as he wanted the In-:
vention of DryJen. or more truly had none; infomuch
that the warmeft of his Admirers would be puzzled to
point out one Sentiment of his own throughout all his
Writings. His Familiar Letters are Art endeavouripg
to look like Nature. His hard Periods and Il:udied Com-
pliments might appear natural to him, ~d beautiful to
Swift and Bolingbrolle, to whom they were addreifed,
but are little entertaining to the unbribed Reader.
Swift's Letters might be, as he faid. written without
Art or Care; but, at the fame Time. if there was little
Labour loft, there is little Profi~ to be gained. To judge
of Bolinghrolle by his familiar Letters, it is faid, were
to do him Injultice, probably not much, as may appear
hereafter; but it' mull: be allowed there are too few'
Beauties in them to make A~nement, for his haughty
Condefcenlion, and alfected'Stoicifm.
IF from his Literary Correfpondence we proceed to
his more finilhed Pieces, there will be a fairer Field in
which to view llis Talents, and to fingle out the parti-
cular Performances, on which he and his Friends moft
valued him, viz. th, Diffirtation on Parties, and Old-
cllfile's Remarks, will be thought, it is fuppofed, doing
him ample Jull:ice, and fetting him in the fairell: of his
Lights; for there, if ever, his whole Soul was exerted,
where Indignation and difappointed Ambition, had
raked together all the fcattered Powers of his Mind, had
pointed his Wit, and given an Edge to his ·Satire. Yet
how wretched in both are; at this Day, thefe his boafted
Performances? How prolix and heavy (as himfelf owns)
bis introductory Converfation in Old Caflle' How jejune,
. as well as vulgar, his Irony on the Ropt! Family, and
Poli ticians ;
 24 '.The UNIVERSAL ADVERTISEa:
I
how forced every Parallel that he draws 1 The political
Part I mult, ~ the Bilhop of ct.gber has done, leave to
Politicians, but it is obvious to obferve, that he has bent
and diltorted every PaKage of Engfijb Hifl:ory, to make
them comply with his own Pallions, and carry Invec-
tives againft particular Perfons, which might pleate at
the Time they were written~ as they fell in wi,th the
prevailing Humours of the Time. But when the Fury
of Party, whi1::h gave- them Life, has fubfided, when
Men have forgotten their Refentments, and the very
Perfons who occationed them, all their Beauties will
fade, and their Salt 'Will life ;Is SIlVOIIY; when the Spirit
evaporates, and the Fermentation, which gave them a
Relilh, Ihall be fpent, dead fmall Beer will not be more
iAtipid than thefe intoxicating Draughts which formerly
Men fwallowed with fuch Delight and Greedinefs. .
IN a word, his political Difcoul'ks will he but Old
Almanacks to a. fucceeding Generation, calculated for a
different Syftem, if not for a different Meridian, and
the ingenious Obfervations which are fcattered up and
down· (and that but thirdy) will not eafily be difcovered
in fuch a Heap of Lumber, or quit the Colt of digging
for them in the Mine.

Man, aft confiftently in every Thing; but bnce you
I prefs me, with that Regard to niy Honour, which yOQ
have always lhewn, I will wipe off fo foul a Stain;
though I muft own, I gloried in it before. Immediately
upon this, he defired his Friend to go from him, and
appoint the Aggreifor to meet him early in the Morning.
Accordingly they met and fought; and the hraye Youth
difarmed his Adverfary, and forced him to aJk his Par.
don publi~kly. This done, the next Day, ?e threw up
his Commiilion, and defired the King's Leave to return
to his Father. At parting, he embraced his Brother and
his Friend, with Tears in his Eyes, faying; " He did
" not imagine the Chriflians had been fuch unaccount-

.. Faith was of any Ufe to them, if it did not influence
~, their Practice. In my Country, we think it no Dif.

THE Moral of this Story does not intimate to us,
that we lhould renounce our Chriftianity to preferve an
imaginary Honour; but that we fhould lay afideDutl-

lit.tle refteaed on, that I hope for the Pardon. if not the
Approbation of your Readers. One may modeftly ex-
pea to find a court"us Reruitr when he ures his beft En-
deavours to do him a Cotutejit. and by his o~n Sweat
and Labour of a Dozen Nights. to furnifu him 'an En.-
tertainment for as many Minutes.
. I AM fed. at this SeafOn of the Year. when Juftice is:
carried to every Man's Door tbro' every Diftria of the
Kingdom. to contemplate on the Happinefs we enjoy
under the Adminiftration of learned and uncorrupt
.1udgtl. The-Benefits ariting to a State. from a ready
Difpatch of Juftice, from Reformation of Abures, and
Removal of Delays, is a Matter of fuch infinite Impor-
tanct', that the wifeft Princes have juftly efteemed it the
principal Glory of their Reign. His prefent Majefty of
p,.,iffia will be more admired by Pofterity for reforming.
r• domeftic Grievances' of Law, than for quelling his.
foreign Enemies, and Mter-Ages wiIJ be more aftonifued
at his Power in getting fix thoufand four hundred and
forty one Caufes finally determined in the Space of one·
Year, than for tak~ng and keepingSilpa in fpite of all
the Aujirian Greatnefs confederated with the Maritime
Powers. Good Laws, together with fpeedy and impar;-
tial Decifions, are indeed the Happinefs, or rather Life
of a People, as well as the folid BaflS on which all
Princes fuOllld foond their Glory.
. BUT then Laws are' feeble if ilI-adminill:ered, and
Jufi:it:e is lame, rather than blind, when accomP3llied
with Ignorance or Indifcretion; but it is the peculiar
Bleffing of our Country to have a Set of able and u'l-
torrupt Judges; freefrom the Imputations of Avarice qr
Ambition, and every Way qualified for maintaining 9f
public Right, and fe£uring ,private Pr~rty: It has
been obrerved to the Honour of [Tt/and, that our Courts
are not inferior to the Hall, and that in every Branch of
.the Law, we have as competent Judges as. W':ftlllinjltt,

above M_? The ROllllln, indeed, had a nobler
Scene to act in, but not more Talents to employ, nor
was he. more diftinguilhed by them either in the Forum
or the Senate. But as I purpofe to fpeak. of Judges only.
I lliall wave any farther Encomium of Bllrrijim,and
pay my Compliments.to the Bench.
WHICH then, of all the Benches, was· ever better
fupply'd by the Chiefs, as well as their A.i!tjlllnls, than
they are at prefent? When was Juftice more 1peedily or
temperately adminiftered? or when were Judges feen
who could better fupport the Character, or better cor-
refpond with all the Marks of a compleat Ditpenfer of
the Law, as they are given us by the moft judicious and
learned Profeffors of the Laws of Nature and Actions.
The learned and induftrious Rodin, in his Comment on
the Pandefls, has given us the Requifites of a compleatly

away from their natural Charafler ; but in this Court
of Honour, for fo it may be term'd, as well as Humour~

and Temper are difplay'd, and even his Features take a
fofter Turn, and befpeak ~ Candor of Mind; which his

him to exprefs with Propriety, or wear on his Counte-

him to difguife under a Gorgon Look (by no Means

reprefents, and however uncomely it may render him.
to difcharge from his Face every fofter Symbol of Hu-

I MAKE no Doubt; he will have a crowded Audience.
and I think it no unreafonable Tax on the Town, if, in
Requital of his Services on the Bench, every Gentleman
and Lady, whether to be there or no, take 'a Ticket for
his Benefit; which will be amply repaid, by the Confr
deration of giving a comfortable Vacation to a well

Reply to the Malice and Menaces of an impotent Ene~y.
I have no great Honour for the Memory of the Man in
his publick Light, tlr for Services done his Country; but
along with great Abilities, -h,e had furely fome excellent
~alitie3, and fometimes, in his public Charatter, and
always in his private, fomething that looked towards
Virtue, I have not yet been informed, by anyone, but
Pope and himfelf, of anyone good ~ality in the Mind
of the other; and from his ACtions and W fitings we
mull: conclude, that he never looked towards Good, or
call: an Eye on the Beaul.J of Yirtue, how much f<>ever
he talks of her. He turned his Back on every Thing
that was good and beautiful, the Sight of which had only
ferved to dazzle his Eyes, and confufe his Senfes.
The Letters on Exile and RetirUll4nt, or one of them
at leall:, appeared to me (I don't know how jull:ly) to
refemble a School-Boy's Theme, and little more than a
CoIIettion of forced Sentences, and falfe Wit, with a
String of Sayings, which difcarded Statefinen carry
along with them to their happy Retreats, or which their
Friends (in Miftake) are wont to apply to them in their
ufual Topicks of Confolation. .
HIS Joh",'T'rot, which he writ for the Crafdman, and
has mentioned in his Will, feems to have been a favourite
Wotk, and furely, well written it is, with fprightly and
well governed Wit, infulite Art, and inimitable Lan-
guage; but from the Nature of the Piece, I judge has
nothing in it from which the Author can derive tht Title

That he had extraordinary Talents, I never heard
doubted; but extraordinary Talents are not always
Genius, and that he was not a Genius is all I contend
for, and (as a French Wri ter fa ys) I pretend to prove it;

one of good fecond rate Parts, below a cc Genius, and
" above the Vulgar."
Few Words have been oftener ufed, and, perhaps.
lefs underftood than the Word GU~IUS; it has been ap-
plied indHcriminately to denote a Superiority of Parts and
Abilities; but it is mifapply'd, as often as it means only
a larger Share of Learning, or profounder Capacity than
other Men potfefs, Capacity is no Genius; it is fome-
thing paffive, as the Word implies, in which Senfe it
has ever been ufed by all good Writers, and fhould mean
no more than a Faculty of apprehending, and a Power of
retaining Ideas; it has nothing to do with the difpofing
of them atterwards. It is Invention, and that alone,
which deCerves the Name of Genius. A tall Faculty of
the Intelle8; (if! may be pardoned the Expreffion) which
looks around on every SIde, finds out all that has any
native Relation to the Objection we contemplate, per-
ceives Relations which are not obvious to others, and
from their Connexions can infer certain Truths and diC-
tant Condutions. It is alfo manifeft, that there are many
Subjects of Study and Inquiry, where no Genius can be
exerted In Hiftory there can be none, unlefs we read
Romance; and all Improvements on the Hints and In-
ventions of others muft be excluded f(om all Pretence to
the Diftinction. But there is a Gtnius in Phytick (I

if indeed they did not ftumble on the Difcoveries. But
where to place Lord Bolingbrokt I know not. If there.
were any fuch Thing as a Genius in Religion, I think I '
flrould place him there preferably to any other of my Ac-
quaintance; fo~ he was equal to. the inventing of a new
one, which (to ufe a fa1hionable Phrafe) fhould beat
every other Religion quite hollow, and Double-diftance
both Hobbs and Tindall. •
THE Inventors of Laws for the Support of Order and
equal Happinefs among Men, together with the Founders
of States and Kingdoms, have ~en honoured with the
Title more defervedly than any; but to rank his Lord~
fhip in this Clafs were to bur1efque him, who has avowed
and proved a Difpofition to unhinge all Laws, and con-
found all Kingdoms, more efpecialIy his own, provided
it might happen after his own Times.
FROM this Digreffion (if it be one) let us proceed to
confider his Ltlltrs on the Ufo of HiJlory. I don't mean
to touch what the Authors I firl!: named have handled fo
well, and who have extremely well expofed his falfe
Reafoning, and fuperficiaJ Learning; but I would try
to find out, what were the Caufes of the great Reputa-
tion of thefe Letters, and· the Wonder they occafioned
in moft Men at the miraculous Abilities of their Author.
They exhibit nothing to a previoufiy unrapturedReader,
but what is to be met with in other Writers, faving
and excepting a fpirited Language, and much Ability in .
compofing. Whatever he may promife, he performs
nothing new, or above Men of much lefs Name in the
World; and I am led to think, from looking back on
the Works of fome juftly admired Writers, that their
CharaCter
 '1'he UNIV£RSAL ADVERTISER. 45
Character and high Reputation grew rather from attempt-
ing, than effecting any Thing very confiderable; from
. Promifes rather than Performances I from pointing to the
Errors of Syftems, and Defects in the Profecution of
Sciences, and offering Plans for the Advancement of'
Knowledge, rather than by advancing it themfclves.
The Bilhop of Cloyne (whom I mention with Honour,
on Account of the excellen t ~alities I hear he pOffeffed)
gave no fuch Proof of Genius, .in any thing he writ, as
in the $;r;l. He Ihews there a reaching Genius, and
uncontroul'd Imagination; but the Things he reaches at
are probably out of human Reach. The great Bacon
was little known to Europe, 'till the Organon Scient;arum
appeared; which, tho' it demonftrates great Compafs of
Thought and Difcernment, is no more than Ihewing the
Defects in Sciences, what is wanting to perfect them;
and moreover what is like to be wanting, 'till in every
different Science, one like himfelf Ihall arife; ;. e. (as I
believe) 'till the general Refurrection.
Now, it is worth obferving, that the i:ffect thefe
Atte.\Dpts have on mofl:,aeaders, is, to create an Opinion,
that the Authors of them, if they pleafed, could do what
they require to be done, and, to us others, the knowing
·what we. want (for every Man of Senfe ought to know
what he wants) feems to be gaining the Point, and we
may expect it from People whom we acknowledge to be
abler. than ourfelves. But there.is a fl:range Difficulty
behind.
THE Road to true Knowledge, feems fmooth to thofe
who defcry it at a Difl:ance, as a rocky Coaft appears
plain and t:a~ of Accefs, when we firft malte Land; but
in Proportion as we near it, its Ruggednefs difcIofes,
Chafms and Precipkes ftrike the Sight with Pain, and
we tremble to approach the inhofpitable Shoar. It is
eaGer to direct than perform, to plan than to execute,
though

though one feems the Property of C,niUI, the other only
the Effea of Induftry.
I AM far from believing, that ej~er of the two above
mentioned had this Confequence in View, or were mean
enough to lay fuch a Trap for Reputation. They did
not want it. But I believe Bo/i"gll,olt, had it in View,
as he had nothing e1fe to live on but a great Fame, no
other way to be revenged on his Enemies, or entertain
his Solitude. It was neeeffary to his Being, .and mult:
be had at any Rate. He took all Methods to acquire it,
cajoled though he hated Pope (as appears in his Preface
to the Pat,.;'ot Ki"g) and go~ from him, that well vac-
nifh'd Portrait, which Pop, drew for him in his EthicA
EpiJIl,. He was afraid of Swift, who was writing a
Hiftory of the laft Years of Q,geen A""" and f1atterd
him for a good Name in it, as well as prefent Prajfe,
though he hated him heartily ever {mee his ~arreI with
OXfo,.d. •
FROM this anxious looking after Fame, we may fairly
infer that his In6nuations and Promifes, of what he would
or could do if he fet about it, were intenlled to raiCe a
Temple for his prerenl more than pofthumous Fame,-

young Gentlemen of Camhridglf deflfe the Writer of this
Letter to give his Opinion of Dr. Middllf/on as an Author.
They do me too much Honour; but I fhall comply with
their Commands as far as Opinion goes, and leave them
~ jud~~t afterwards.

I HAve
 49
I BA VE read but three of' his Pieces, and know no-
thing of his Cbarafler.in the learned World. His Para/-
M feemed to me ingeniouOyand plea/ingly wriuen, with
a Vein of good Nature running through it, and an In-
dulgence for pq>Ular Abfurdiries. Upon the Whole, I
.think it a pretty little Piece. Cicero was a talk far above
him; .and, indeed, Biography a Talk above moft Men,
as we may judge from the Scarcity of good Biographers,
wbo are fewer in Number than Epic Poets. I have ~ad
fOmewhere, that five hundred Perfons writ the Lik
Hmry the Great of France; if it be fo, it was never my
9'
Fortune to fee ·one of them. It is harder to write there
than in gener.aIHiftory, and requires more Variety of
Talents. A clear, confiftent Narration, of any ~xecl
ordinary Event, is by no Means every,.,Manfs Feat; but
when the Hijlgry of the Man (to ufe Lord B,/inlhroYr.
Word) is alfo the Hifi,ry of IheStale, as great Judgment
in feleCting, and Ability in compoling, is required to
bring Ollt a full, uniform, and compaCted Piece. It is a
chimical Art, extracting all other Arts and Sciences J
and whoever will perform well in it, mull: have more
Talents than one can readily think of, or quickly enu-
merate. I am much miftaken if Middle/on had many of
them, and think his CicmJ a brokeR, puzzled, unwieldy
Performance: and to fay no more on't, wh6evergetl
acquainted only with the Doctor's Cicero, may alk as
the G,rman Count did, whether Cicero wai the fame
'lrit.Mor.f Tul,,'
As to his Treatife againft the Bilhop of London, I call
fay but little, not pretending to judge in the ~eruon J
but I believe a Concern for Truth was not the foie Mo-
tive for his writing it, as he difcovers a Rancor no other-
wife to be .accounted for (by a Stranger) bu.t by fup-
pofing he confidered the Bilhop.as a Rival i~ Letters and
Genius, or had received fome private Injury. His Vanity
or Foppery, or whatever Naml= it fhoutd go by, is

'THE onT, material Difference to be obfCrved in the
Fate of us modern Writers aod the Ancients, is, tha~
they enjoyed their Reputation a Month before, and we
ours a Month after Publication; theirs was a pre-txijlenr.
ours is a pojlhu1II,ul Glory; they had theirs, ere their
Works were brought forth; we don't get ours, till they
are dead and damned, and, as it may properly be called,
till the ReJurre8iolf of ullerr.
I HAVE reflected with Pleafure, or rather "inticipated.
the great Name we modern Writers fhalJ obtain, when
the London Magazine and Monthly Rt"Oiew, fhall hand
down ou.t Fame to admiring Pofterity. We fhall bi=
regretted like Yarro and GaDus, when our Works, like
theirs, not to be had above-ground, fhaU be the more
deflred the deeper they are buried. We fhalt furvive
with our Hiftorians, (for all Hiftory, whether good or
bad, furvives) and they wiU tell with what Spirit we
writ, what Juftnefs of ThE>ught, and Purity of Stilc!',
how our Adverfaries expofed themfelyts to the ConttRlpt"
of Mankind, and laughed at living, dird unregaNerl
like the buzzing Infects of a Day.
THE Folly then ofWFiters is not to be ex€ufed, wh()
are fo'furly and nn~omprying as to wilhhold lAe ordinary
Fee, from thefe Guardians of the 'lemplr "B{ ..Fame. I
know a Writer who has paid heartily for- telling the
Author of the MOllthiy RtV;ew, that he woald no more
buy a Puff from him, than he would a Wind from a

South of Dundallt, when landed five or more Leagues
North of DII"dallt in this Kingdom, as it went from
hence, was for reventeen Years; the Policy of which
was obvious, to indoce the Farmer to go into this Coune

HAPPILY
 ,2. '.the UNIVERSAL ~DVU.TISER.··
HAPPILY tbe certain, and, as Matters were circum-
lanced, the only praCticable Means of avoiding this Evil,
remained in our own Hands: Our Houfe of Commons
wllowed, where hard Neceffity pointed out the Way;
and in order to avoid a much greater MiIChief than. the
Bill, they let the BiD drop: It is to be boped~ by the
way, that we thall be taught by this Inftance to keep
ourfelves out of Danger offaIling into any fuch Snare for
the future, by difcontinuing a PratHce lately taken up.
which, however well it was intended, is 'capable of being
perverted into~llD infidious Device of involving this
Country in inextricable Difficulties.
BUT, dropping the Bill is far from proving a DeliV1:-
ranee, from the ftill greater Mifchiefs with which this
Country is threatned, by the Omiffion of .the Claufes
which ipunediately followed; thefe Evils are juft now
Impending, as the Laws impofing the Duties of eighteen
Pence a Yard on Callicoes and all· foreign Muflins, and
of fix Pence a Yard on all foreign Linens; and likewife
for allowing a Pi'zmium on ra,ifang Flax-feed in the
South, &le. are aU to expire at the Endofnext Seffion.
UNLESS therefore a more happy Genius !hall for the
future prefide, than what would teem to have had the
Direction, when fuch Havock was j:ommitted on our fa-
vourite Bill, we are to lay our Account, by the Begin-
ning of next Summer, to fee thi, Country overlaid with
Indian Callicoes and Chinces, foreign Muflins and
Lawns, fpotted and plain, and all Kinds cif foreign·
Linens; to the irreparable Injury of our own Manu(il.c-
ture, and iikewife Ut the elfetlual Exclufion of the MQtr-
cbeft" Cottons, and of all Kinds of Lineus aDd Lawns
of the Manufactare of Br;III;n.

,by the riling Tafte of the Gentry of this Kingdom, he
is refo1ved to abandon his native Country, in order to
fettle in Dublin, where he propofes to be towards the
beginning of S,pt,,,,},.,, His innate Modefty would fain
caft a Veil over his Accomplilhments, but Juftice con-
~ins him to publilh them for the Benefit of Mankind,
and the Good of the Public; which obliges him to'in-
form you, that he fabricates all Kinds of Perriwigs for
Church-men, Lawyers, Phylicians, Military, Mercan-
tile and Country Gentlemen, in a moft new, exquifite,
curious and extraordinary Tafte: As for Example, to
EccIefiaftical Perriwigs he gives a certain demure fancH-
tied Air; he confers on the Tyewigs of the Law, an
Appearance of great Sagacity and deep Penetration J on '
thote of the Faculty of Phyfic, he cafts a Solemnity and
Gravity that feems equal to the profoundeft Knowledge:
His military Smarts are mounted in a curious Manner,
quite unknown to every Workman but himfelf; he
throws into them what he calls th, Animating BlI€ltk,
which give6 the Wearer a moll: War-like FiercenefS..
. He has likewife invented a Species of Major or Brigadier
for the better Sort of Citizens and TradefmeD, which,
by adding a Tail to them, that may be taken off and put
on at Pleafurc, may ferve extremely well when they either
do Duty in the Militia, or intend to ride the Fnnchifes.
He alfo flatters himfelf upo,n hitting the 'fafte of the
/rijh Country Gentlemen and Fox-hunters, by his thort
cut Bobs of nine Hairs of a Side, .
FOR Gentlemen of the B,au Mond" whofe Tafte and
Talents lie in Drefs, he prepares Perriwigs frized in the

may be put into a fmart Bag during the Vacation, and
which in Term Time may be rellored to its priftine

of this Sort always in Readinefs; to hire out occaflOnally.
HE a1fo makes white Woollen Bobs, which lit a5

the N,GHT-BuKET, by which Ladies .and Gent1emen
may have their Heads dre1fed while they divert them-

being conftruCted on Mathematica:l Principles, is fitted

Buckles in an admirable 'Symmetry, and the Velvet,
.being dipped in a foporiferous Liquor, contributes greatly
to comfort the Brain and bring on Sleep. provided the
Wearer has not had an ill Run -at Cards.

pleafes; and this he performs without the Ufe of Lead

plorable; but he has dekribed it to well, that I promift
kim a Cure if he takes my Prefcription, though I am nOl

I AM bold to fay, ,the laft cannot be done to any ufeful
Puipofe without explaining, the firjl, and dearly ftating
what ParO' is, and how it differs fr9m Sedition and Fac-
lion. Were he to relate the hart Events of all political
Contefts, from the Dijfontions of RMfIe and Atb"", to
the Sfjuahhus at 'TIIJlors-Hall, it were impofiible to learn
from them any mere than this, tha~ Men in a po1ific:al
Capacity have quarrelled, and that their ~arrels were
fometimes hurtful But furely from hence it can never
be inferred, that Men are not to quarrel or take Part in
. Contefls. The Reverfe is true. And in all, Di<r.Jijiolll
about publick Concerns, where one Part o( the Society
, is engaged againft the other, not to be a P""I,J MA" is
. to renounce the Society, it is a voluntary Diifranchi/6-
ment: and he is no longer entitled to dij1ributi<r.Je Juftiu,
.' Ol" general P,·oUllion. How far the Farmer has ftated
. thefe Points, I am at once obliged and afhamed to lhew.
Can a Man of Senfe ever become'an Advocate for ftaring
Nonfenfe? Can a Man of Probity, ranfack his Invention
to find a colourable Support for Fallacy? That he has
done both f pretend to lhew, and that hisJhortlntroduc-
lioll to fome fanciful Hij/ory (which, as yet I can't guefi
at) abounds ,,with Fallacies, Abfurdities, Prevarications
~d Nonfenfe.
To begin with his Fah/e, the Foundation of all that is
to follow, and in my Opinion but indifferently Ila"net/,
it is abfolutely without MeaniDg, or, in pIaiA Words,
Nonfenfe. It is hardly a PrtJlofiti.", as tbe logktJ Phnre
iL Take it in his Words: " A certain Huhndmm

whicb, for Wording and Meaning, is not to be paral.
lelled by any of the Ancients. Pllt it, in fhort, without
omitting one fingle Iden, and then look at it. A tmllin

own'd this is no very r~re or uncommon Accident, and
yet has given Occafion to very tedious Differtations, and
is made a parallel (Aft with the prefent Diffentions of

Parts of which I fhall confider, and not trouble the

poffible to employ Words enough, to deliver it entire.
Nothing then is fo difobliging to a Reader. as Ixplaining

- SIR,
I Am one of thofc who have DO Kind of Bufinefs on
my Hands, and confequentiy C!bIi~ to fook out for
M='!ter t9 entertain my Curiofity. When any puhlick-
Affair is on the Anvil, and the TGWn divided into Par.
ties about it, I never make one of either Side, but hear
attentively what is faid on both, and in order to form a.
Judgment of their Arguments, and find where the Truth
or~robability lies, I have rec:ourfe to Hiftory, and
IOummag,::
 90 'i'he UNIVERSAL ADVERTrsn.
rummage whole Volumes till I find a Cafe in Point, "and
a P/It'"Utl,hat runs on all four.
THAT States and Kingdoms have always been ruined
by Luxury and Corruption, has a Parallel in every Hif-
tory and every Poet, jd!<Uior armis, Luxurin incubuit, is
, as old as the C4'fars; but the Remark is too generah and
very corrupted States have lafted long ere a final Diffo-
lution feized them, and had Intervals of Health before
the fatal Period came on.
BUT there are certain Difeafes in the Body Politick,
as well as Natural, that feize at once upon the Vitals,
and lay it ftone dead. The Ghoft of it may haunt u.
for a great while after, and the airy Phantom may ftalk
abroad, but lifelefs, fenfelefs, void, and vain.
ON a late Occafion Chance direaed me to the Hir-
tory of the Spanijb CORrEZ, written by the diligent
and ingenious Dr. G,ddes, a Sketch of which will pr0-
bably be agreeable to your Readers, as the Book ia but
in few Hands.
" KING H",,, the "d of Caftile, intending to have a
.. War with the Maorijb King of Granada, called a Cor-
•• It~ (or Parliantent) tome.at'To/edD, the 29th of N~
.. 'Vtmher, 1406, which w~s opened by a SPeech of Doli
., Ftrnando, the King's Brother.
•• The whole CArtez unanimoul1y voted to affift the
., King, but minutely computing the Charges of the War,
., found it was by two thirds more than the People could
" bear, and paJfed a "Bill accordingly to be prefented to
Cl the Throne. The Infant told them the King expeaed
cc the whole Charge, by thejCorttz adhering ftrialy to
cc their Bill, the King at laft pafTed it; but, at the fame
cc Time, defired, that in Cafe the Sum they had given,
.. iliould be found infufficient, they would impower him to
cc raife Money on the Su~jea, without afi"embling the Cor-
" ttz, which would require Time; and though giving
him
 1'he UNIVER.SAL ADVERTISER. 91
c, him fuch a Power was fiercely oppofed by a great many
.c of the Pncurat,rs, as a Thing that ftruck at the very
cc Root of their Power; yet it was carried by a Majority,
" and though grantedJ>ut for one Year, created aPn~
•• dent, and encouraged other Kings to de6re the fame
cc Power, and to take it very ill if it were denied them.
. c. And, by fuch weak and corrupt Conceffions as thefe,
.. it was, that the Spanijb CORTEZ came to lofe all their
.. Authority." PogI 33 t. 8vo Edition.
I muft add, out of the Hiftory of Gon;a/lz D'avilla,
that from the Day that Vote pa1fed, the CllrttZ (or
Courts) of Callilt, never had any Authority; and that
the Commons made a little Struggle under the Junto in
the Minority of Charlts the fifth, to recover their antient
Rights. and though the Junto often defeated the King'.
Forces, and under the brave P"JiIJa bid fair for SuC(tfi
and Settlement in their old Conftitution; yet the Opinion
which the King artfully fpflead among them, that if
they proceeded they would never be pardoned, and if
. ~be,. returned lO Obedience fhould be weD receiftd, fO
Jplit. ~d divided them, that the Enterprize came to
nothing; and they an fell a Sacrifice to their own FoUy
and the King's Rekntment. to their own Folly, for
imagining, they could poffibly offend any Prince more
by Succe6, than by dec;laring againft him; or mitigate
his Refentment by being unfOrtunate, and lying at his
Mercy.

THIS comes oddly from me, Sir, who have been
fingularly zealous in oppofing, in this Sphere, that
Intereft by which the Nation has been SAVED; bUt.oUT
Eyes begin indeed to open. We have been much
miCed; our Situation in every Circumftance concurred
to .I'lOOlote it; wea~e all 'f.radm, and almoft all for
fome Years paft .of the fame Combination; hence we
can do nothing but ftrengthefl -each ether's Prejudices~
and inflame Animofities;· we are at a great Diftance
from the Scene of Aaion, and have hardly any Means
of knowing the Springs ofpublick Matters, but from
the Reprefentations of fome woo have been fortunate
enough to gain an Afcendancy over our Meafures, and
(1 am farry to fay it) ·in a great Degree over our Under-
ftandings. This. has led us into being dtteivtd even in
F1I8s. Farther, a mercantile Education, however ufeful
in Society, is certainly a contraBed one, and the moft
unlit jn the World to qualify for ~litical Criticifm. No
Wonder then we Ihould err, and that in a great Degree.
Precept, Authority, Communication, every Incident
conlpired.
·BUTllOW, SO:, tan declare, in the Names of.many·
others, .and my own, that we both fee the Miftake, and
as inftantlYEefolve to correct it To correct it, without.
deviating from the Principle, which was the &ouJCe 'of
our former.SeDtiments, however miftaken .we were in

BUT let us not, Sir, be charged with Obftinacy,
however liable to Error. No Men are infallible, and
involuntary Miftake is no Reproach; when Truth glares
us in the Face, we have Senfe and Candour enough to'
acknowledge her Force; they only are c;apable whofe
Principles of Conduct are bad. LIBEllTY is, and has
been, ours. A Zeal for tbat animates w, I will ven-
ture to affirm, as much as any Set of People upon •
Earth; and though it almoft hurried us into the Domi-
n;on of thofe who fet up as our Dtjendlt's, yet we never
ItIIIJ'Wi"g!J betray'd its Caufe. Our Independency we
will preferve, but to what nobler Purpofe can we ever
ofe it, than in promoting the Honour of HIM, who has
fhewn, to the Height of human Denionftration, that he
has no Defign to anfwer, no Pur"ft of his PfI'Wtr, but
the Advancement of his COUNTRY'S lNTERI!ST, and
the CAUSE of LIBERTY? la not this the glorious End
for which alone we would deftre Independency? What
Advantage can it be to Society, but as a Weight thrown
into the Scale of Mliclt Httppi"tfs' Here then. even on
the Principle on which· we oppofed Hini, has our

'I'fOr"couldthere be a more fcurrilous, {canda/ous, and

than an Affertion that we are not fincere in thefe Decla-

in that we find he fo exaCtly correfponds with our own

This, it is to be prefumed, is as gopd for us as for our
., . Neighbours, it not being any particular Stipulation with
. them, but only a reviving Declaration of a Privilege
. accruing to every Subject of thefe Dominions from the
• Nature of our Conftitution, and apparently productive
-of the beft Effects, and, indeed, effential to the very
Being of F .. EEDOM. As for Precedents, the fame Hif-
tory will fumifh many. But to wave all others, we
• need but to look back to the recent Inftance of about fix
Months ago: Where, on a PUBLIC GIlIEVANCE arifing
, from the Obftruction of Richmond Park, Sir John Phi/-
lips nobly became the Advocate of Ihe Ptoplt, framed a
Memorial in their Behalf, and though fuut out from
his Prince, declared he mufl and 'Would fee him; which,
by his Affiduity, he accomplilhed, and, w~th his own
Hand prefented the CDlllpla;nt of his Suhje8s.- Many
Remonftrances of privau Grievances occur every Day.
)Jut tbis, I believe, will be thought a more exact Paral-
lel. It is notorioufiy true, and as notorious that (what-
ever were the Motives of the Doer) the Action there is
10 far from meeting a Particle of Cenfure, that it has
gained him univerfal Honour and Efteem, and is looked
on as anoble Exertion of an inherent Privilege. - How
far it belongs to us is pretty eafy to fee, though hardly
fafe now-a-days to determine.

THE Author of that Letter, Sir, is a Man, who,

powerful Influence in the Adminiftration here, which
has diftingui&ed him for many Years; a Change in hil

affure him, that an Example like his is the moft effeCluat
Remedy for that aultward Stiffntfs, which (as he ob-

I PllOTJUT to you, Sir, that, but for that Precedent,
and his perfonaI AfIiduity no'w every where exerted, in
Favour of th.e Interefr he once oppafed, I Ihould hardly
have had Courage thus to avow my Thoughts to one,
to 'whom I have the Pleafure of being known, and who

As a Lover of your Country I will add to yoqr Plea.

affore you that the Reformation (for fo I will caU it)

SIR,
I T has been truly obferved by ingenious :Naturalijh.
that there is nothing fo difficult to be accounted for
in the <[beur'y, as Suep. We have all pretty good Skill
in the prallical Part,and, contcary to what happens in
all other ScienctS, the !efs we ftudy it we perform the
ktter in it. Yet, from the Peafant to the Phibifophn-, aJk
anyone you meet, what Sleep is, and how it is per-

that People from the Beginning of the .World have per-

DIlEAJ.(lNG, an accidental CAnfequence .of "the fore-

and though lefs fubjeCt .to Rules, mucheafier to he ac-
counted for: It is neither more or.Ief~ tban Un;trfill foe1-

to aCt and perceive in the fame Manner as when awake.
ifn th is State, though the Stnfes are pretty much reftrained.
yet the Imagination is infinitely more aCtive than in any
other; the obvious Caufe of which' is, that the 11111lgi-
nation, in our waking Hours, is, every InftantJ fupplied
. with new and different Ideas from the S"'fes, which clog

\,Y the Interpofition of Reafon. Whereas, in the. o/ht~
8late, it is no Way directed by Reafon, nor puzzled hy
new Ideas from the Senfts. but feizes on fame formerly
Conceived Idea, and pur[ues it beyond all Bounds either
of Nature or Pollibility, joins together the moft incon-
fiftem Imag~s, creates for herfelf new Worlds, and
brings Events to pars, that never dId or ever will hap-
pen.
IT is to this ex.travagant Faculty of the Imagination, I
maft impute a Drttam, or rather Yijion, I was lately
entertained with, and which, with an ExpeCtation of
having it confidered by fome of your d,·taming RtIlderr;
I beg Leave' to' communicate to the Public.
I WAS fitting, bur forgot how I got there, on the
ClJrnic~ of a fpadou! Chamber, furnilbed only with
Chairs and Stools, an old falhioned Canopy of State, a
Tabfe cover'd with green Cloth, Pens, Paper, and other
frnplements neceiTary for difpatching and confulting on
BuUnefs. I had not been long there. when the Doors
flew open, and twenty eight Perfons appeared of different
Afpect, but either in their Drefs or Air, carrying Marks
.of Eminence and Di11:inCtion. Some talked together,
and fome whifpered in a Corner, till Oneentere~ c!oathed
in Purple, and feating himfelf under lhe Canopy, made
a Sign to the reft, to take the!: Places at the Board. In
his Look was Magna:iimity tempered with Goodnefs.
On one Side of him 11:000 Jujlice with her Ballance, and
on the other Mercy with a pointlefs Sword.
AFTER a /hort Silence, one at the Table 11:00d up and
Jpoke, but I Was too diftant . to hear diftin~tly what he
faid. His Vifage was bloated and fluftered. and his Air
embarraffed and doubtful He was apparently in a
Fright, which I afterwards underftood was owing to his
Apprehenfions, from the Hatred of ten Millions of People
whom he had wantonly infulted and provoked. A KinCil
.f Cloud hovered over his Head, and from it a naked
G 3 Sword.

Sword depended, having the Hilt adorned with p,.eci~rn
_ Stones, and on the Blade was written in red Capital Let-

fantallical, he was hung round with GfaJfes, which mul-
tiplied, diminiilied, deformed, or beautified, and which,
according to his Pleafure, he held to the Per/on feated
under the Canopy, and fuited them to the Light in which
he deared every Object iliould appear to him.
W HI LS T I was pondering what this ilioold mean, the
Scene fuddenly was changed on Ine, and new Objects
appeared.
I BEHELD in a diJIant Corner a Group of about three
hundred Perfons, nearly divided into two equal Bodies.
At the Head of one was a Perfon of bulky Make, and of
Afpet! not very benign. he wore· on his Breaft the En-
figns of great Dignity, and his whole Figure was the
Sign of fomething great and eminent. At the Head of
the ~tber was one of moderate St;;,ture, with a Look botll
mild and refolute.
THE Man of Glaffes approaching the Canopy, took
one of them from his Side, and pointing it to the former
Group, requefted the Perfon feated there, to take a View
o~' them, which he did and {miled. With another G/ajr
he made him look on the other Group, on. which he
fhewed Tokens of Difcontent. Between them both,
flood an Heap of Gold, tco large to be deemed any pri-
valt Property. On this the Man of Glaffes every Moment
caft his Eye, and on Ihis, one of the d'i'~'idtd Bodies, to
a Man, were ftJuinting, though they pretended to look
another Way. The other Body looked towards the
Canopy, and bowed with refpectful Alfurance.
SAID I to myfelf, what can all this Pageantry mean?
wben inftantly the Man _/ Gla.J!es fell proftrate on the
Floor, and his Friends fled from him as a Plague. The
Man of Bulk, at the Head of one Party, lengthened his
Vifage and dropped his Creft, his Enfigns of Authority

• fell from him, and he remained in Confufion and Dif-
may.
THE folding Doors were again fet open, and a Mul-
titude innumerable appeared before them, fome of whom
entered with Papers in their Hands, and humbly pr&nted
them before the Canopy. Of the Perfons feated at the
Boa;d, the greater Part teftified Confulion, whilft the
Perfon, who read the Papers, looked at one, and then ano-
ther, with Surprize and Indignation.
NOT long after a 'Troop advanced, fome with whit'
Stll'lltS, and others with PurJes in their Hands, which
they- laid down before the Canopy; with fomething in
their Looks, expreffive both of Fear and Refentment.
-As they retired they were divided by Part of the Crowd,
and feemed vehemently perfecuted by the other. But a
particular Averfion was /hewn towards them by a Row
'Of twenty four, diftingniihed by a Habit, half black and
half white, with a Pe,fran 'Tiara on their Heads, and
each had blue Letters on his Cheek refembling the
]truJaltm Mark.
ANOTHER Troop approached the Canopy, and re-
ceived the Enftgns the others had laid down, who were
congratulated by the whole Alrembly, but app~oached
with a Kind of Homage, or rather, Worfbip, by the
Row of twenty four, who fet no Bounds to their Adora-
tion. Said I to myfelf, there furely are Perfons of ex-
cellent Virtues, who rejoice fo exceedingly on the Pr&-
_motion of others, and appear fo dilinterefted themfelves,
they muft alfo be afi'ured of fome tranfcendent Virtues in
the Perfons they are Co prompt to deify. I could not,
however, underftand the Meaning of their looking fo
eamefUy at each others 'Tiaras.
THIS Scene no fooner vanilhed, but another was pre·
fented to my View. Two Women appeared of different
Stlltur, and uncommon Drefs, the firft had a Helmet on
her Head, a Shield and Spear in her Hands, and in her
Countenance bota Beauty and FierceneG. When lhe

the Man of Bulk who had loft the Marks of ~is Auth~
rity, and had retired to a Cemer. She kindled with
Rage and Indignation. and frepping direaIy to-the Caoo-
py, pointed him out to the PerfOll there fcated, who,
not having a GklJs to fpy him, had him brolJg!lt nearer..
She appeared to me as a Plairu"iff appealing from Injury
ancl Oppreffion. And the Affembly, with an Air of fome
little Curiolity, gathered} round the C,nob as near u
Decency would permit.
My Attention and Pity for her at the fame Time was
raifed. and my Curiolity prompted me to draw nearer,
in order to learn what could be the :urue. But riling too
hafrily. I tumbled from the Cornice. and was faDing
from a'Height that muft have filivered me to Pieces, if L

Dublin, entitled 'The ~peech of E-- S--, &c. A poor
unlucky Boy, who hawked it thro' the Streets, was fud-
denly encompafi"ed by a Pofft confifring of three Gentle-
",en belonging to the Corporation, and an ALDUMAN
at their Head, who haftily quitted the Difpofal of a Baf-
ket of Figs, and arrefl:ed the poor young Caitiff, propriis
nlanibus, whom, with the Affifl:arice of his Compeers,
he efcorted to Bridewell, for daring to derogate from
the Merits of a Gende~an fo defervedly. dear to. this
City. Here the poor Wretch lay a whole Night in Du-
ranee and Mifery. In the Morning a Committee was de·
puted to examine him, and got him to inform againt1:
the Printer, who by the fame Alderman's Warrant wu
arrefl:ed, and would have: gone to Jail, but that he found
Means to efcape from the Confl:able, and is fled for the
fame, the Lord knows whither.
THE People here who have any Value for Liberty, or
knOw what it is, are in a violent Flame at this Proceed-
ing, which was accompanied with Circumfl:ances of In-
folence, not to be adequately: defcribed. The compli-
cated Mifdemeanor of a Tyranny over the Prefs, not al-
lowed eVen to the Crown, but afi"umed by a pedling Al-
Jerman; the violent butrage of repeated Infringements
on the LiberlJ of th~ SubjeB, fo jufl:ly dearer, both by
- Law and Reafon, than even Property or Life; and the
expelling an ufeful, indufl:rious Artifl: from his Home and
Habitation, and Means of Subfifl:ence, without Sha- a
dow of Law, or Reafon, o.r Authority, but a Rage of
Heart en flamed and fupported by the fimilar Proceedings
of theIr Patrons: 'All thefe, I fay, mufl: excite an unfpeak-
able Refentment in every honefl: Breaft, and claim Atten·

SIR,
As a Free and Independent Inhabitant of the Towa
of Belfojl, I cannot avoid taking Notice of the
flovenly Manner in which our Addrefs to the SuAltn,

ADVEllTl511l of 'rut/do, laft. As we entertained the
jufteft Senfe of the unfhaken Loyalty and unbiaffed Pa-
triotifin of this truly GREAT MAN. W I can affure YOI).
that there never appeared greater Unanimity in fo large a
Body of Men, than there was among us upon this Occa-
fion. The Addrefi was fubfcribed by I "5 of the principal
Inhabitants of the Town: Had we been dCkrous to Rave
IDOre Names, I am perfuaded more than 5000 would
have been proud of tbe Honour of fubfcribing it; and
our Letters to the worthy Gentlemen entrufted with the
Delivery of our Addrefs, were 6gned by Mr. John
.p/lf'don, Merchant, and Agent to tbe Earl of Donegal/.
by Order of the Free and Independent Inhabitants, at a
publick Meeting at the Market-Houfe, where there was
the largeft Affembly, that had ever been known open
filch an Occafion.
lTwould have given us great Pfeafure, te haye our
Names tranfmitted to Pofterity, as having approved of
the Sruul.'s Condua upon Co critical an Occafton.
Our
 138 CJ'heUNlvERSAL AOVERTISEIt.
Our Duty and our Loyalty have ever been fuch to his
prefent Majefty, the beft of Kings, and to his moft IIIuf-
. trious Hou[e, as to make us abhor every Meafure that
may have even the moft diftant Tendency to alienate the
AffeCtions of his SubjeCts from him; for which Reafon,
we fhall take it as a particular Favour, if you will, in
your next, infert our Names at Length.
WE are the more defirous of having this done. as it
will convince the World, that we are in no wife con-
fulted, nor concerned in fome late Freedoms, which
were c1andeftinely granted by the Magiftrate of the
Town, and publilhed as the ACt of the Corporation.
tho' it was an abfolute Secret to every Perfon of any
Confequence in the Town, till the Affair made its Ap-
pearance in the publick Papers: Then indeed it was uni-
verfatly"'difavowed, but not in fo publick' a Manner as
the Gentlemen of BelfaJl ought to have done. and they ~
take this Opportunity of difavowing it in the molt pu~

we are pleafed with an Opportunity of returning you,
Gentlemen, our hearty Thanks, for your exemplary
Virtue in Cupporting our invaluable Privileges as Free-

have been heightened by nothing but the Pleafure of

W & flatter ourfelves, Gentlemen, that in honouring u~·

numerous and refpeCtable Bodies of the neighbouring
People, you naturally, in our particular Sit.uation. of-

yet nothing could have prevailed upon us, who feel our-

you not lirft, by a fteady and uniform Adherence to your
Duty, diftinguiilied yourfelves; and furely no Bad&e of
Honour can contend in Dignity with the Puolid Ap-
plau(e of the free and uninfluenced.
You will readily perceive, Gentlemen, that the
Freedom of this Corporation could not with any Pro-
priety have accompanied thefe explicit Declarations of
our unfeigned Sentiments.; an oPdinary Compliment in
the Power of an Individual, mud be confidered as of.too
little Confequence, to come in Aid of general Tributes

SIR,
W .
E .tbe Free and lndependent Inhabitants of the
Town of BtlfaJl, having a grateful Senfe of the
ineftimable Blelflllgs we enjoy in a Land of Freedom,.
cannot, without the utmoft Indignation, refleCt on the
malignant ConduCt of fome Perfons, who, to cover their
own felfilh and pernicious Schemes, have endeavoured to
repre1i:nt thofe upright PaQ'iots, who have fteadily op-
pofed any Alteration in that Conftitution from which we
duive all our Happine~ as {editious, and aqgrateCullo
the heft of Princes.
As the Excellence of our legal :and tru9'- admirable
Conftitution ·chiefly confifts in the due Diftribution of
Power to every Branch of the Legiflature, which forma
that glorious political Balance, not to be found in any
ether Government,it is evident that the leaft Infringe-
ment of the Rigbtl and Privile~1i of any Pan, muft ne•.

ceffarily tend to the DeftruCtion of the whole. 'To rule
over a Nation of Freemen, and to preferve all their
Rights and Privileges inviolable, is the peculiar Glory
and true Interell: of a Brilifb Monarch: To fupport the
jull: PrerogativClof the Crown, and to defend the Rights
of every Part of the Legiflature from any Incroach-
ment, is a Duty which every Freeman, and more efpe-
cialIy every Reprefentative of the People, equally owes
to his Sovereign and to his Country.
As thete are our real and unfeigned Sentiments, we
rejoice that we live under the paternal Care of a Prince,
who has been uniformly aCtuated by the fame Principles,
apd who has given all his SubjeCts in general, and par-
ticularly his loyal SubjeCts of Ireland, the moll: convincing
Proofs that their Happinefs is the great End of his mild
and righteous Government. 'Wealforejoice that we yet
have a great Number of t~ue Friends to the Liberty of
their Country, whom neither Promifes nor Threats can
ever bend to'betray the Trull: and Confidence repoied in
them by their Conil:ituents; who know that the Interell
of their King and ef their Country is, and mull ever be,
infeparable; and who defpife the Ignorance, and deteft
the Malice, of thofe who attempt to difunite them.
THB incorruptible Fidelity, and inflexible Steadinefs,
which you, Sir, have (hewn in purfuing the true Intereft
of your Country, demand our particular and publick
Acknowledgments. Warm with Gratitude, we return
you our mail: fincere and hearty Thanks, for your unalter-
able Zeal for the true Dignity of the Crown, and the
Liberty and Happinefsof this Nation. Go on, Sir, ftea-
dily in that noble COilcfe of Virtue which you lJave fo
fuccefsfulIy purfued; and, tho' we know not wnat other
Confequences may attend your diftinguilhed Patriotifin,
yet of this, we are certain, that you will receive aRe-

'To the A D v E It T I S E It.

SIR,
I &g the Conveyance of your Paper, on the urual
Terms, to lay befon: the PUBLlCIt (ome Remarks on
on
a raitljhlet, entitled, Confiderati01ll the Money-Bill, &c.
I ant fenfible the Subjea has been well treated already,
by the ingenious and candidAutbor of Remarks, &c. but
apprehend, he· has written for· fuch, as he fuppofes
~vioufly acquainted with the Nature and Hiftorr of
our Conftitution, and accuftomed to a Train of politi-
cal Thinking and Reafoning; rather than ~o Perfons,
who, with very goocl Senre as well as Meaning, may
have entered but little into there Sorts of Enquiries, and
for whom alone the c,":/ithratiofU were intended, as on
them alaRe the Compilers could hope to make any lafting
JmpreiJioo. .
My Delign is fo fur the fame with their's (as) an ho-
INP Endefl'Ullur can go, to quiet the FearJ and ApprehenfioRl
Df tbI People: But, I hope, to do more in this lhort{\.d~
dftfi; and that it will be feeD, we have taken different
Methods, that tbey intended to deceive, or were deceive<l
themfelves; that I neither am, or wilh others to he
deceived J and confequently, that the Effea of our En':'
deavours may be different, as, tho' Deceit fora Time
H a JSl&Y
 !4S '.the UNIVERSAL ADVERTISER:
may quiet popular ApprehenGons, yet Truth alone can
extinguilh them.
THROUGH all the fpecious Rhetorick of this boalled
Piece. there are but two Propofttions that have any Facc
of Argument, (viz.) that Prtcldents are on their Sidc;
and again, that the Surplus of any """ppropriated R~
<ue"u" is, by a CDnflitutio",,/ Trujl, i" the DifPoJal of
rbe King for ,,,"lick S,rvim. The 6rll is faUC in Fafi,
and the other both in FaCt and Reafon. .
To prove the 6rft, nothing more is required,than
baving a Recourfe to FaCts, (for Reaf(m has nothing to
do with Precedents) and to fee, what the Prattice of Par-
liament hll beeD.
As there were no Parliaments in Ir,/and, except the
us
mock one of King 1II1II11, from the 6th of Char (Rd-
oning from the ReflwatiolJ) till the fourth of Wi/limllanA
Mary, there can be nO great Antiquity to provc.eitber
Side of the ~eruon; but, from that laft Period, every
Inftance is againft them; and the Attempt then made by'
the Lord 8.Ydn'l. Anno 169:1., being very like the At-
tempt in 1 75 i. and the Event of "Dlh the /a1lll, it may
give fome Light into the Matter, to relateh Jiom the
Jour.nals lately printed.
A SKETCH of his ExceUency's Fortwell Spuch, wiU '
reprefent the whole Affair: cc Gentlemen of theHou/C
" of Commons, you 10 £ar"miftook yourtelves uto ia-
4C trench on his Majefty's Prerogativ~, tbe 7th of Oth-

" her laft, by a Vote, that it is the SOLE RIGHT of the

c, Commons, to prepare Heads of a Bill for railing Mo-
c, ney; and on the ~8th of the fame Month you rejeCted I
"a Bill fent over j and entered on your Jour",,'s the
" Caufe, that the fame had not its Rift in your Houfe:
"I therefore make my publick Proteft *gaioft: thek I
~' Votes, ,C5.c."
, Now, among other Re,afons for rejecting the kUl Bill,
one at leafl was, " That the Prtamhk had not its Rife
uiJ
 'Ihe UNIVERSAL ADVERTISn.J4~
CC in this Houfe," and muft remain a Reafon, as long as
the Parliament is any more than a Shadow.
IF People who have not read thffe 10u,."alJ, want to
know what was the Confequence of the Lord Lieutenant,
and the COIllmons. partin~ in fuch Wrath~ they may
be pleafed to underftand, '-that the Parliament was d;[-
fll~td, and on convening the next Parliament, Lord
Deputy CaplI addrelfed both Houfes, in one of the
finootheft Speeches that ever came from the Throne;
and it is obvious to any difcerning Reader, that he apolo-
gizes to the Commons for the rough Proceedings of hi.
Predece1for in the Government.
F.OM the Parliament held 1691, there was rittle Oc-
cation to difpute about Surplus Money till 1 j09, when. •
there appeared a Ballance in the Treafury, of jl,019 r.
which was, of their THEIR OWN MEER MOTION. voted .
by the Commons, for the Vfes of the Arfenal. the Co~
lege Library, and the Support of tile Palalint"
- . No previous Confent was then offered by the ~eerr,
or talked of by any of her Servants. The fubfequent
IJaUan£es in. J ilQ-J I were alL applied by the Commonsa
and not a"\vont of pRVielus Cbnfent, till the Ballancel
.,f· 1 74S~4 j-49 and- 51 produced a greater Surplu~
than had ever been in the Treafury before. Then it
was that Prtcttltnll muft be fearched for, and what the
Omjdtra,ions. Brc. produce as Pr:tctdents, llialt be fpoken
to prefentfy.
THEIR fecond Argument is, Page 2Z, " the Truft
U of applying the Money given by Parliament to the-
.. Crown, without any /pedal AplrfJpriation. is. by the-
n La<ws and Confiitutifm of this Kiizgdom. vefted in the:
" Crown for publick Services."
. I DESIU to. know by what £tm,~ There is no fuch
nprefs Law en the Books. nor can any ConJlrul1ion. that'
it !lot Nonfenfe, of any A8'made and provided for gcne-.
nI Purpofes, i",port fueh • TruJl in the Cr.f!Wn, or any·
ThiRC ac it. Thoi! they mention obvfouOy make-
H i a&aiDft.
ISO rhe UNIVERSAL AOV!llTISER.
againft them: The Excift and 'Tonnage ACts, Parts of
which they recite, are nothing to the Purpofe, any far-
ther than to thew that the Revenue was granted for puh-
licit Ufos. The Hearth-mont,1, Ale-limife, Rifumplim,
Chie!ri,s, CrlJ'Wn and !i<..uit-renlS, the ConjtderaliDns
Own, are not chargeahle by the King, with Penfions or
Gifts, and why they are mentioned I cannot conceive;
but one Inference there Gentlemen did not forefee will be
made, viz. if it be out of the King's Power to affJgn
Pen lions on thefe Revenues, then allllhe PenflOns he gives
muft be fupplie4 by additional Duties. I hope they are
wrong in this Place, as one of the Reafons for the Peo-
ple's fo dutifully acquieJcing in the K:ing's PIeafure on this
Head, was a general Perfwafion, that a great Part of the
PtnjiDI/S were given out of his Majefty's Priv.J Purji,
which fome of thefe Revenuu were deemed to be. But
tie this as it will, the ACts recited by them are againi
them, as they prove nothing for them, and infer more
than they intended on the other Side.
THIN, p. ~o. they own, " thefe Fu/IJJ were to go ill
"8I1ct'.Jfton for the Support of Govcrnmept." Then I aik.
if they are to go in Succeffitm, has the King any illlJDe.o
diate and diftinCt Power over them 1
AGAIN, p. 47." The true Parliament Check will frill
., remain of with-holding future SUpP/it/, and punithiDg
" Mifapplitrs of puhlick Money." Can fuller Conce{:.
frons be made of Parliamentary Power, or of a Right of
enquiring, without previous Con/ent, what is done with
the publick Ballance?
Thus far, for their alledged 'Tr~jI b.y Law; and now
for the Confiilutional Truft.
By the Nature of our Confi;lution in England and /".
lRmJ, lhe only Foundation of a Right in the King for de--
manding parliamentary Supplies, is the ntctjfarJ Su~
of GovernJIlS,llt. On this Foundation alone have they.
been deman~d, and whatever at any Time miKbt have
-been
 ne UNIVE~SAL ADVERTTSlI:. Isr
been'the ~rue Motive for afking Money, no other was
ever pretended. It is then as clear as the Sun, tbat DO'
more ought to be dem""ded, than what is (uflicient to fup-
port Government, and no more would be granted, jf it
were poffible to calculate how much would arife in twO!
Years from certain Duties impofed by Parliament; but
that is. impoffible, and, in Ef&fl, we fee they are at fome:
Times dpC;,,,I, and at others redundant. If they art
deficient, they muft be made good, and become the
IUllionRl Debt, as though there was no '(pecial Appropri-
lII;on; it was fuppofed they would anfwer the Exigencies-
of GovemQle.nt: If they prove rtdun_l, they cannot
a
be caIled ¥tiowd Debl, but tbey are a nationa/Property,.
~d they are exprefsly ftiled in the Accounts d~livered,
IDto the Houfe, the national Credit. Suppofe then, on·
6tch Accounts' being delivered in, it fhould appear 5000f.
ftmained in the Treafury, would not the Parliament, if
'lIlty were to raife I,Q,oQol fQ1' tho currenl\ Year, add
«Ily 5000 I. to make up'the Sum; or muft the People
ftand to Dejici",des, and not have the Benefit of what
Ov~rplus t'bedelves granted. on contingent Duties?
Dotb not the PraCtice of Parliament, in providing a Fund,
as they did in I i~9, to pay the Interefr of tbe national
,.Debt, and ~ranting it only for two Years, prove their-
Intention ofavailiR,themfelves of any Redundancy which.
might arife, and applying it, if' it happened, towards
~ircharge of the Principal?
T HIS, Sir, in my Apprehenfion, is fo obvious and:
evident, that I will conclude thii Letter, by obferving,
that thefe Confidernt;"", the Arguments founded, on the
u,terpo!Aled, Prtam"li~ both within and without Doors,.

lick, I filorild have expreffed my DeteLlation, . at leaft, of
the Contrivers thereof.
Banlr. HAD you but confider~ a little, you would
have found fufficient Reafons upon the Face of the Thing,
to have convinced you, that the good Names (and there
are not very many of that 'Sort, to fpeak in the Lan.,.
guage of a Trader) mull: have been furprized into the
Aa. For then you would have obferved, that the Sig-
"ntur~ of fome COMPA NUS was firfl: in grnfs, and after-
wards you wou'1d have found thoTe fame COMPANIES fplit
into INDIVIDUALS, to fin up a long R,Il: You would
have noted ftmdry Names unknown to Traders; and
ether Names of Perfons, no way concerned in Trade.
but as Relations to certain Grocers, Drapers, &c. em-
ployed by great Perronages. But, that which fhould have
alarmed yo~ mofl:, was, that tbe Names of the moll:
IMINENTBANItI!ItS and mofl:SlGNIFICANTMERCIIANTS.
were not to be fuund in the Roll I need nut name them;
you know them aH. If the Cr~d;t of the Nation was
really at Stake, and had received that ejfeflua/ Relief,
which was pretended, think you not, that thore every
confid~rab/~Perfons had as eatly Qnd as fl:rong a Senfe
thereof, as Chandl,rs, or 1oin~rs, &c.
M~rch. brDEED, you have alarmed me much; for l
ROW recollefl the Indufl:ry with which our GENERALS
~Iicited this Affair; and I begin to dread, that the Pub-
lick was net fo much conlidered in the Matl'el, as I here-
tofure thought. But though their Motives, were not as
ditinterefted as 'they fhoold have been, hath not the
P.ublick yet received great Benefit by a late lntwpofition'
in behalf of the national Cr~J;t?
Bad. Do you mean, by the DireCtion that was fup-
.pofed to be ,given to the Treafury ?
I Mrrch.
170 The UNIVERSAL ADVERTISER.
Mlrch. ¥lts: That is my Meaning.
. Banl. THEN I will give you a categorical Anfwer,
and lay, that, in my Opinion, it bath not received any;
hecaufe the Dirttlion, whatever it may be, hath not
J1Iade any Alteration in the ufual Courfe of the Treafury.
F--~, indeed, hath taken upon him to fay, " That
" Orders were given at the Treafury, and other publick
" Offices, to give ready Money for Bankers Notes."
But tbis mult: be one of his uJual Puffs. It is abfurd to
imagine, that fuch an Order could be given, that could
not be legally obeyed, but at the Rifque of the Treafury-
Officers, who give great Security to the Yice-TrtoJurm
their Employers. Thefe Officers have long taken the
Notes of Bankers in Payment, and have thereby inlarged
the Capital of Trade, to the great and fenfible Advan-
tage of the Nation. But without cancelling their Bonds,
and difcbarging their Sureties, no Power, but the Par-
liament, which can indemnify them from a Lofs, can
compel them to accept of Notes for Money: Much lei
can any other Power warrant their exchanging certain
Revenue for uncertain Paper. So that thofe boailcd
Bonifires, Illuminations, and Ringing of !HIts, were, pro-
bably, as imaginary, as fome others formerly related by
the fame Author, to have been for a Birtb-Doy, which
no ~ortar in the City; except one Native of Scotland,
knew any thing of
Mtrch. I SUSPECT, from wh~t you have faid, that
you did not fee a Letter, which was (em from the
S-'~ Office to one of the Banks of this City, which
fcems to overthrow your Alfertion: Indeed,' neither the
Letter, nor the Addrefs, direClly point out the particular
Manner, in which publick Credit was to be fupported;
but the Letter plainly indicates the Exercife of fome
Power for that Purpofe.
Btlnl. I HA V E feen a Letter of the Sort you mention,
and have read it over and over carefully. and <Cannot
. find
----.- . •
'.the UNIVERSAL ADVERTISER. 171
find therein any Caufe to,alter my Opinion. The Le,.
'n--W,.iur feems very diligently to have avoided entering
into any Particulars ;. he but generally fets forth, .. That
cc he was ord~ed to fpeak to Mr. G-,. and Mr.
Cl G--s, to· fupport the Cre,dit of the &nkers, and

cc that they might depend upon being effeCtually fup-

•• ported; anc;l that, if they had Occafion for any im-
to mediate Affiftance, they might apply to Mr. C-----I,

cc and they would find him ready to do whatever might

cc be conducive to the maintaining of pubtick Credit."
T Hr S was all very good and kind; but in Truth then!
feemed not to be any very prefling Neceffity for it: For
Mr. G--,. and Mr. G--s have been ever zealous to
promote publick Credit, and have thereby done infinite
Service to their Country, and deferve all the Thanks
grateful People can give them; becaufe, in Truth, they
have done this at their own Hazard.
BUT frill.this general Letter doth nor warrant "--'.
Tale, which is manifel1:ly fet forth as the Foundation of
the AddreG; nor, indeed, can it be prefumed, that any
fuch Thing was intended; becaufe fuch an Order is
certainly not in the Power of a chief G-r, who hath,
by Law, but fIlCh Authority over the Revenue, as is
a>mnuued to him by the Eftablilhment, wherein there
are exprefiy three thoufand Pounds 1" An"um, for mili-
tary Contingencies, made fubjeCt to hi_Warrant, and
no more. How then can it be thought, that he would
order the Money in the Treafury to be delivered out for
Bankers Notes? It is abfurd, and an Impofition of that
News-Writer, aad will contribute to place our Confti-
tution ,iD a ridiculous Light, wherefoever the DuIJ/i"
1(JtmltJ travels.
Mirth. YOUR Doarme is new; we were taught by
our GENERALS, that the Treafury was, at all Times,
under the Direaion of the Chief Governor.

I a Ba"lr.
 171. The UNIVERSAL ADVERTISER.·
Bank. THE. Treafuryis, as all other Things are,
fubjeCt to Law; and I know no Law, that gives a chief
G--r a Power of changing the public Treafure into
Notes, nor do I think any G--r ever did, or ever will
attempt fo to do. _ :
Merch. But <10 you not think, that the Letter I have
mentioned, wa& attended by fome Confequences advan-
tageous to the Kingoom ? .
Bank. IT is certainly of Importance, that the Publick
fhould obferve, that Power is watchful over the Affaira
of a Nation, fubfifting by its Trade and its Credit.
However, I cannot think this Country was lately in fo
great Danger, as to need any extraordinary Remedy.
One Bank .of no vilible Security broke; I cannot have Co
mean an Opinion of my Countrymen, as to fuppofe, that
they would, therefore, fu1peCl: all other Banks, of vifible
and undoubted Strength, and draw their Money out of
them, to burthen themfelves with t~e keeping thereof.
There was an Appearance of a Run upon one Bank; but
this was owing to its fmall Notes, the Property of Per-
fons of low Degree, who crouded .the Shop, though
their Demands were trifling; but this Bank was no more
fu/f!ecled by Perfons of Judgment and Affluence, than any
other; and therefore, was not difturbed by them. But
whatever was the Danger, I cannot thin~ that Letter of
fo great AccoLWt, as to be called, the EFFECTUAL IN-
TERPOSITION, to behalfofthe publi<:k Credit of the King-
.d<lm. The Ii:FFECTUAL INTERPoSITION, I look upon
to be tbe AjJIJciation of the Nobility, Gentry, Merchants,
and Traders now in this Capital, who are the Bankers Cre-
ditors, and who, indeed, if they were wickedly difpofed,
might bring DeftruCl:ion upon tbemfelves and the Bankers,
at pne and the fame Time. This appears to be the Senfe of
the firft Bankers and Merchants of the City, who would
not weaken their Credit, by greedily catching at an Oppor-
lunity, in the Face of the World, of returning Thanks
for
 'rJJe UNIVERSAL ADVER't'JS·!R. 173
for being preferved froin an impending Ruin, which they
were not confcious they were in Danger from. This,
theyfaw, would amount to a publick Declaration, that
a Bank could not fubfift, without the Aid of the: Trea~
fury, which would not be proFer tor the People to be-
lieve, nor for the Treafury even to hint. It is the Bu-
linefs of every gpod SubjeC\ to wilh, it i1 the Intereft of
the Government to promote, that the Treafury may de-
pend upon Trade, and that Trade never may be in the
Power of.the Treafary. Thefe Reafons operate (0 poW'-
erfully upon me. that, could I Flainly diftover the Man
who counterfeited my Name in that Roll, I would take
the moft likely Steps to procure a Recompence, for the
Damage which I may incur abroad, -amongft Strangers;
who will probably efteem my Credit to be very preca~
rious, if it may, at any 'Time. depend upon the effetlHal
Inttrpqfition of a chief G--r.
Merch. You have convinced me, that I have done a
Thing that may prejudice, but cannot advance, Credit:
I can now fee clearly into-the Putpofes of thofe who pr~
je&d this Procedure at this critical Seafon; and I cart,
-fvithout much Cunning, difcoyer, that many welJ-de-
19oing Perfoos, have, with me, been made Dupes of
the Ambition and Intrigues of other Perfons. I do;
tberefore, finnf1 refolve- to be hereafter more wary ~ and'
more exaa in obferving the Manners of my Leaders; be-
fore I concur in their Mea!urtl.

SIR,
T HE Author of a Letta' publifhed in the UXlna-

thrice cal~d on to defend it, begs Leave to anfwer to the
Objeaions'ml~e to him in the Gmu/t, of FJJ. :&6, in the
'Thi,.d LIII""'; IhI hblic, and in Page 8. of the c.p
ItN,." .fIal,d; and fubmits himfelfto Publiclt Equity.
To the firft, i1e thought tl:!e PfOt"di"l" bad fuffici-
ently proved - all he could fairly be fuppofed to intend.
in aJferting there was a great BaJJancein 17°9, and that
the Commo~s of their..". Moti.. had applied this Sill'-
plufs, as weP'as that of 1710-11. which was principally
to filew, that ,the CMyftUrali.1U had'difin&eDUouO, (as
lle thought) palfed over unmentioned this BaUanoe; and
in ConCequence would have it believed, by tWe who.
had not read the 1Durnals, that there had been DO Ot:c:a-
fionof exertingtlie Prerogative of P""";IIU c,,1Ij"" till
liS l . ,
As to the.H,. MQI;on of 11" eo..."" &c. the Man iD
the GaulI, proves himfelf by his Citations from the
Journals, that they addrefi'ed of their ",,,,. Motion, to
. ,have thefe Su"llujfes applied; and no one can think the
uttlr-'Wril". meant they could difpofe of Money with-
out addreffing, or fending over (which is the fame Thing)
B,ads of a Bill, for the Royal c"lfCurrln,,; and I fay dill,
DO p,.t"t)i.us eonfont was offi:red~ which, or Tantamount,
.. what he would prove. '
I MUST

I MUST obferve here, that the Pa1rages he has cit1ed,
quite confound the great Argument drawn from FIJI''''''!
Spuch, .. we become Swtors,--of your Majefiy's Boun-

•• vour;" for I prefume no one will fay, fbe could have
any Right over Money to he gran/~d.
. To the Objection, p. S. in'ThtCafejlated, that I have
denied the Con/lilulionai Royal 'Trup agreed to by both
Sides, I refer the Reader to the Paper, if he has it, where
I only a1f"eTt, there is no txprtjs .A8 of Parliament for it on
tin Boolts, or a"7 'Thing lilte it eXfra8ahle from the Prellm- .
jks of~al .A8s. This Author gives it up there is not,
and only proves that it is implied in the Nalure of the
c."jlitution; and yet fee and confider, if the Confidtrllli-
ons do .oot mean to make it believed, by the unread in the
Laws and Conftitution, that there is pofitivt fA.w for it ;
and that the Autbor has not added, as he ought to have
done, thattho' his M--has this'Trujl, yet it is a Trait:
~aa: to Parliaflltnlary ["rpe8;",,; and if it is not of
right to be infpeaed ttu ,rmouJ Co"fenl comes, it is at

THEY were obfcurely born. and not Ofti' liberally

childilh in the MaDners and Amufements 'of the Firft,
which excited Pity among Friends, and Laughter among
'Enemies. The other was cunning and inventive, but
bated for low Praflicea and Jugling-tricks. With fucb
Q..llaIitiea and CharaCters, they were not likely to ue-
cute any Scheme of Importance, and found it neceffary
to gain over Pnuknce to join them, who accordingly
was invited to accede to the Alliance.

SIR,
I T has been an old Complaint, and not always ill.
founded, that the Words we ufe every Day, and
which feem to imply fome Matter' of great Importance,
are. of all others, thofe we leaft underftand. In the
Q..ueen's Time, whether or no the Ch",.,b '11141 in Dtln-
",.-employed all the Wits in Brilllin, a,nd exhauO:ed
every Topick of Altercation; and, in all Probability, had
Jafted till the End of her Reign, if nean 8'Wift had not
propofed ,lHlnging th, §2y'./lion, and making it a, PoiRt in
POlitic:ks, whether or nO the Mtnu,.,nl was in Danger.
Here was a fair Open for taming to tOme ~rtainty OIl
the SubjeCt; the Monument wasinfpeEted by young
/1Iig. ,'IUJ; and uponbia RepOrt, that tJl wtlJ right
tIIId III it jbfJIIld /'" People returned to their Senfes from
the unreafonable Flame that had fcorcbed them up alive.
Liberty and Property fucceeded fOoD after, and pro.ed
a tougher Subje& to be difcufl"ed: The firO: was a Point
meerly fpecuJative, in Comparifon with the laft J as Men
might do very well without any Monument at all J but

without fome reafonable Portion of the other, they could
l'Ieither eat, or dt-illk, or walk about
MILLIONS of Reams of Paper ha\fe perifhed in this
furious ConfliCt; from the half-fheet Politician, the
QyEIlIST, the ADvuTun, and the weekly Annalifts
(pardon the ExprejlioR) to the blue-bouRd Pamphlet,
the oaavo Syftem, and indexed QJ!arto; from the Fool
to the Philofopher; all have been writing, difputing.
drinking, fettling, and unfettling the Point, without
coming to any Certainty, (as I yet know of) about the
Matter, fave one, (viz.) that the Manner in which we
manage the Debate, the Spirit with which we conduCt
it, and even the foul Language we bell:owon one ano-
tber, prcwe to Demonftration we are ftiH in Poffeffion.
If Liberty was gone, you would never hear a Word
more about it, the very Name would expire with the
Thing; as at this Day, in all the Eaftern Empires, there
is not ene -Word in the Language to denote it, and eVeR
in France, it is deemed ill Manners to mention it befure
-~ Gourtieu, if it were only the putting them il'1 Mind of a
deceafed Relation, or perhaps one they hlildpoifoned fur
a Place. And then, if Property were gone, we could
not afford the Expence of plaguing one .another as we
do, of throwing away Money to vex our Enemies, and
buying Books we cannot ~ad, becaufe written by our
Friends.
_ So far we have gained a PoiRt, and proved .that Li-
berty and Property are .ftill in being; and how we are to
preferve, and how long we fhall keep them, can now
be the only Matter of Doubt or Apprehenfion; by wbat
_Regimen thefe valuable Friends fhaU be kept in Health,
and their Life preferved toutJ:eamOld Age. .
THIS; indeed, requires our utmoft Attention, and
deepeft" Deliberation. _ I know but on(l Doclor in :rown
whofe Advice is to be defired on tbe Point, and (tho', in
my Confcienc:e, I think him worth all the reft) }'(t I
would
 crhe •UNIVERSAL ADVERTISER.; 19_3
would have a general Confultation; when the Confe-
quence of a Dofe in or well prefcribed is of fueh infinite
Importance. I hear, a Confultation was propofi:d, but
abruptly broken off; a,nd am not lOrry for it, unIe(s a
little more had been 6rft known, as to what would or
would not agree with their Conftitutions. -,
WE have had fo much written and faid about Libeny
and Property finee 080"" laft, that one would think,
little more was left to be faid or written; but I beg
Leave to fay neither Side in the Difpute have as, yet faid
any Thing, or, by all their Writings, given fo good a.
Proof, as the one I have abmce-mentioned, that we have
really any _fuch ThJng among us; or have fatis6ed the
World, how, and on what Terms, we hold either o~
'them. One Side abfolutely denies we have any Liberty
but what is meerly dependent on another's PJeafure, i. r.
in other Word~ Liberty is lent to us, but we can't pre-
tend to keep it when the true Owner requires.itback. If
we ufe it well, we may induce him to indulge us a Iittl~
longer in the Ufe of i t . , -
THE other Side fay, this is downright Nonfenle, tha:~
all Liberty c:onfifts in doing as we pleafe, ,confiftently
with Laws of our own making: That to be accountable
to any Thing,but ~w, 'deftroys the very Idea of it, and
to make it refu~able is juft as abfurd, as a_ Freeholder
without a Leafe or Copy.
'PllOPl!RTY has fared no better in the Hands of oUf
Difputants. We,have fome Property, after fome Man-
ner or other; but according to the moA: learned Opinion~
of the beft: Judges, we cannot ufe it till wc fhall prcvioulli
be defired to do fo; and Gentlemen of this Country not
being ufed to theiC: Speculations might naturally have
concluded formerly, .. That his M - complying with
.e ,their humble Requell: to ufe it, was a fufficient Inti-'-
.. mation of his previous Confent to their ,uGng it."
They might reafonably foppofe that aft" CDnftnt was

THt other Band ofl.itigators fay, our neigbbouring
s~as have robbed us of our ancient uncontroverted
and exclulive Rigbt of Bun-making, and that every Sen-
tence ill Favour of ·the Preamble is a Contradiaion in
Terms, when it is ofFered on any other Foundation of
ReafoD than what is Jaid in Precedents.
AND now, Sir, contr3ry to the Adage of the Poet, I
:am vain enough to fay ---NoJIrum tjI, laRIas ,,,,,paner,
Litts. -
I SHALL {et this Matter in a cle;u:er Light, and put it
. to every Man's Confcience, if I am not in Proof. after he
h~ given me Leave to frate the Cafe, and filew how all
this Difference has. beep occafioned by-not underftanciing
the true Meaning of the Terms. By Liberty and Pr0-
perty, fmm the Beginning of Civil Society to I i54
new Stile, no more was ever meant, tho' not confe1fed.
than our own Liberty and other Peoplo Property. The
firfi: without the fecond is hardly worth contending for,
by nine out of every ten Perfons at leaft in this Kingdom;
10 whom Liberty would be no more than Liberty to
ftarve, or hang themfe1ves. ~i n. ha, fays the Proverb,
no v);VIl, he'J nOI a/iv, who has no Prwpw17. And I mull
fay, four out of every five laborious Writers in this
Caule could never prove themfelves to be alive, only it
is very w.ell known they have got Something, fame Pr0-
perty of late, and .~ithout which they could not have
lived long.
Now, had Men in all Societies been inFnuous enough
11) own what they would be at when they ufed thefe
Parts of Speech; much ill Blood and Controverfy had
been ('4ved, and their Pretenfions had not, by one half,
appeared fo unreafonable as they do now; beaule then
thCl'e had been no Neceffity of offering any Reafons, and
aJnfequently all the bad ones had been (pared. But the

lIIay find fume Bubble or other to underll:~nd them in the
Senfe he pretends to be his own, and wherever he finds
fuch an one, be enjoys Liberty and Property in PerfeCtion.
PROPERLY and ftrialy fpeaking, they are infeparable
Companions; a Sort of prefent Property is poffeffed by
Slaves, but is a Property they have no Right to; and
Liberty without Preperty wit! foon expire, or more pro-
perly, can have no Exiftence. True Property when
impaired can be repajred again, whilft Liberty remaina;
but the laft once loft. is utterly annihilated. Happy
they that know its Value, and can be wife without the
Benefit of their own Experience; which to fay Truth is
but the Miftrefs of Fools. A wife Man, (fays Somebody)
wh~n he fees a Shark, knows he will bite; but ·a Fool
will not be convinced till he has loft a Limb.
I MusT,fanher trouble you with a very pretty F'ab~e
which fell lately in my Way, and, if not fpoiled by the
TranOation, will entertain your Readers.

frelh Air in the Country, was met in his Way by an old
. Acquaintance coming to fee the Town, and try his For-
tune among the Suburb Cloel.
An'ER mutual Compliments, they naturally enquired
ofeach others Situation :md Way of Life: Mine, faid the
~ourti~r, is the pleafanteft in the World. I live in a
fine Lodge, defended alike from nipping Colds and
·~rching Heats; fleep till I am tired; and cram till I am
full with the moft favoury Food, and,.as you fee, am in

you are a little lean, or fo. I am naturally not corpu-

to our Readers; as it comes from one, who beft knew
the Caufes of their being exiled and recalled.

'IrJ Mr. B-E, pri".cipa/ Counfellor, and firll Prtfidtnl

of the Chamber of Commons in Ireland.

Paris, June 1. 5.
SIR,
I T was not from any Want of the moft perfect Attacb-
. ment, and fiJ,lcereft Gratitude, that I fo long deferred
my Acknowledgments for the Honour you did me, in
writing by my Lord-- an Anfwer to my Letter of
1anuary laft (0; but tbat tbe Difficulty I was under of'
finding a fure Conveyance, and the Danger of being
difcovered in holding a Correfpondence with any ImO'Wn
Friend of Liberty, during the late Times of Eulejioflick
Tyranny, deterred me fNm undertaking, what I fo much
defired. You are not ignorant, tbat the Polls of this
Kingdom are under the Power of every Pttty Secretary
(an Evil unknown in your Country of Liberty) who
has the t Impudence to aff'ume it, over the deareft
Privileges of the People, and takes upon him, under
Pretence of his Majefty's Service, to controul all Inter-
courfe by Letters, and even ftop any pub/icR Intelligence,
that may thwart Jhe Schemes of him and his Party by
undeceiving his Majefty as well as his Subjects. Such.
a Strain of Power has been exerted here, in Order to"
amufe us, by uncontradicted Accounts and [alfe Facts,
fuited to their Deligns, and delude us into a State of
Security and Indolence; when Meafures were fet on
Foot, to overturn the Fundamental Rights of tbe
People, and create a Jealoufy between them and the
K~ .
IT was by thefe and other like 'IritRs of Slale, more

Glorious, it is true, is the Lift of French· Monarchs.-
but that of Ntl'llll"' exhibits two Princes, nf)t to be
parallelled, /inee the Days of Pharn",o"J.
IT has been the Wonder of all Europe for a few Years
.pall, that a King confetTedly the greateR: among them,
in Arts and Arms, in Peace and War, fhould by any
Inlinuations be diverted, from tbe R:eady Courfe he haa
long purfued, in mining graciouOy to the R,m,njlrQIIClI
of his PM/u"n,n" and redreffing the Grievances of lii.
People by them reprefented; or that he fhould by any
Arts be prevailed on to place any Canfidenee in a Set
of Men, who muR: necetTarily hate all Parliaments, as
they will prove for ever to be a Chec,u, on their Ambition..
Bul' this, Sir, will appear ftrange, to none but
thofe, who are unacquainted with Courts and Kings,
and the inevitable Snares the la.tter muft be led iBto,
by the bold MifrlprtJtlltali,,,, of defpera.te- and guilIJ
SIrvants. In a weak and univerfally corrupted Coun,
Iniquity is its own ProteCtion; Knaves of Neceffity
become true to one another, and the greater their
Treachery, by Confequence the firmer and better
eftablilhed their Security.
THE whole Court, &nce the Peace was concluded.,
had been deeply engaged. in a uniform Confpiracy to
deceive tbe King, and amidtl: the Bleffings' of Peace,
it is ever one Infelicity, that Perrons, who haye no other
Talents but Affiduity. and Lying, make their Way
there, and wriggle into Favour, when the beR: and

diftinguilhed their Loyalty, by LoiS. of Fortune, and
Hazard of Life, muft be loond upon, as Malecontents,
who wanted Rule for no other End but to embroil the
King and overturn the State. To begin in Order.
ManJieur ChatteauneuJ had the Air of a prime Minif-
ter, when he held the Seals, tho' never loved by the
King, or otherwife regarded by the People, than as
one fet in that Light till another could.be found, to
take the Place, with proper Ability, and to the Publick
Satisfaction. As among Statues finifhed by a maftedy
Hand, we ordinarily chufe to fill a vacant Niche with
a Plaifter-of-Paris Copy, rather than Difgrace the reft
by an aukw:ud Original; the Man, had that Mixture of
~alities which' produces few E,emies: He was pro-
fufe, tho' not generous, and dilIipated an immenfe For-
tune in Hofpitality, without gaining one Friend, or
making the Fortune of anyone Tradefman, who
cheated him. He was· entirely governed after his
Brother's Deceafe, by a Clerk in his Office, and a Bailiff
of his Manors; the tirft of which, did very well for him-
{elf and his Family, tho' he drew by it more Enemies
on his Mafter, than all the Mifinanagement in his own
ConduCt could have done. The other of his Governors
only made him ridiculous, which, in my Opinion, turn-
ed to his Advantage; for Men can never be very
angry with one they laugh at: In a Word, he W&i
cbargeable with little more than other Men's Crimes,
and hi4 own natural Propen6ty, of two Evils always to
,huU: tbegteateil:: .. j , •

where but in Council: Hi. Head had *n fafhiened to
the inexplicable Shape of Fall"., ami Pnc~s~ and he
brought to the Cabinet, the uncouth Language, and
narrow Notions they neceffarily infPire. His fidl
Maxim in the Art of Government was, c not to humour
• the People.' He never had enquired any Thing
about them, or knew any more of popular Matters, than
what his Lady had occaGonally told him by Way of
Converfation. On this Fund he would needs {ct up to
be a Statefinan, and loft the Reputation he had gained
in his proper Sphere, and on his own Ground," by pre-
te"nding to 'WIl1l Oil Slills. -
HE was governed, tho' he coutd not fee it; by one
who came after him in the Advocate-1hip, a notable
young Fellow, and One who had early got the better of
his Native Modefty. He was Maller ofrome Wit, had
good Spirits, and a ready Eloquence: -His Succefs was
owing, in the general, to his Intrepidity; as his For-
tune was altogether perfonal, he had bufliure to fear
for j and. boldly put himfelf at the Head of the
Nortllans, a Race of Men, needy and induftrious, never
to be difcouraged tho'always foiled, when they pretend
to aCt beyond an UnJtr jart, or aim at more, than an
uecutive Share in Government, and to do as their
Paymafrers order them. _
HE and Cbatltauneuf's Cterk yoked and drew together,
and carry'd their refpeCtive Mafrers afong witl! them i
from whom, as they preteAded, they received Orders,
but" in Truth had given them in private before: So that
by there two Varlets the whole Cabinet was raled.
