Excerpt from Miscellaneous Writings, Vol. 2 of 3 Whether the piece I shall endeavour to answer was your own performance, or whether it was written on your com mand, by one of that scribbling gang, which the disbanding Mr. P ton's late regiment of gazetteers hath cast destitute on the public, I need not determine? In either case, you are entitled to my answer; which, however, you have not so much reason to be startled at, as you may justly apprehend: for I do not intend to imitate you in invective, and shall abstain from any other reflections than those I shall make on your remarks, and which are necessary to refute the groundless Slanders you endeavour to throw on an innocent and injured character. The observation with which you set out is strictly true nay your whole letter is one continued flagrant example of it.
