o-ir.e, dcfirmg me to retain ir.
Ic was afterwards shewn to a

who hath Once expressed a desire
hat it might be publ.fhed in the
Newburgh newspapers. With
this desire I readiiy comply, and

Appendix to the Moralist-
MY learned friend, by aflert
ing that there is a dffercnce be
rwcen the tencont'es of the an
cients and the duels of the mod
erns, has fecu'cd an es ape : he
wdi knew, ihar had he sirerted
cliere was a difference between
ancient and modern duelling, 1
should have replied, that the only
difference w<s m their arms—in
the armour worn by the ancients
the miffiie javelin, or (pear ar.d
broad-sword, faulchion or l'chy
metar, they used ; and ihe fmall
fwords and p (lols used by the
moderns. We have ample evi
dence that trere was but little
Idrerence in the form or manner
,f proceeding—as 1 ifhill Ihew
by two familiar instances. Mr.
Pope fta-es “ the argument” of
the third book of Homr’s Iliad
o be, *’ the dutl between Men*
ciaus and Paris”—and we hare
me proceedings detailed at
length. Hedlor carries thechal
icnge of Paris: Menelaus,accepts
it. 1 Fetor and Ulvlles arc the
fcconds—they r,iark out the
ground—-they cast lots which
fhali firft throw the lance, and
the loc falls to Paris: Then
rhe comb.*’ants fight, and the
lllue of the battir, which is
veiled by Homer in poetical fic
tion, is thus plainly related in
the it con book Dutjs Crttenfis.
‘‘When Paris, being wounded,
lby the lpear o Menclaus, fell to
s the ground, just as
••as tu!h. g upon him with his
l-vord, he was (hot bv an arrow
iom e anuarus, which prevented
ms uvet.gc m the moment he
vms go’ng to take ir. Immecli* I
atdy on the fight ot this peifidi* j
o"$ aflion, the Greeks rose in a j
tumult j the Trojans riling at
ti e farce time, came 01 ar.d res
cued Paris from his enemy.”
The other inftsnce is in the
twelf h book of Virgil’s iEneis ;
where Turnus in the firft place
fends Eneas a challenge by z
herald ; hut the duel being then
interrupted, he afterwards chal
lenges him in pcrl< n, when they
fight for the poffduon cf Lavi
nia, ani Turnus is (lain.
