Mr. Jobtfion,

** I wi(h they were ingenious too’* remark* upon my I,tier in your Ga
aette before the last. This cholerick writer’s ttandard of reason refeinbles
the giant's bedstead, if wo fall ftrnrt of it we mult be ilretched. and if *e
forpaf* it we are to be lopped ; but as his will is happily deiiitute of the
power to enforce it, J will venture to fay, that, notwithii-nding his f'ern
ing ability to “ change sides andJhll refute.” neither his arguments or nar
rative havcintho load influence J me, the hill being i.i my opinion (for
which I hope he will again be in dudgeon) incoudufive, and the i*tl a
mournful talc that i had read in the Loudon Magazines two or three years

fits this world affords to mankind may by txctft become prejudicial.
He has formed a judgment of me no doubt agreeable to himfelf, but if
I may he allowed to know my own disposition, I can with truth declare,
that I never was in a fitoation that ceald induce me to be rather a li .nogdog
thorn a dead hen. though, if I was undsr the unhappy necessity of chafing
wbe,her 1 would exist as a dog, or ass rat men that I have known, the dog
would moft certainly •• for mr.oy substantial rcafons be pre f erred.” His
remark of my fixing my fafety upon timidity, in order to introduce his own
prowess, which he away with iu many other places, is llriking
tod new, bat alters not my opinion, “ that the apprebinfiou of refentwent
hups men within the funds of m-drratton. and c mufti them t treat ea.h ether with
refpeS and decency.** this axiom being not (lie if* e**kac necaufe it is

Mr. Printer ,
lilAV'fc lead the letter from Philanthropos to Philotomy, and think he
may be mi flake n in fuppoiing Philotomy’s meaning 10 iign Fhilotiir.us
infteadof Philot* my. I own indeed that Phiiotimus may Signify a lover
of honour, but that Philotomy means a petfon desirous of it is more than
I ever knew. Ana tomy fignifics difledicn, Dicho tom y u fedion i ß to
two parts, Phlebo roar a fefticn of the veins, Artcria tout a fcflir.u
of arteries. All these compound Tombs have araal meaning, but Phi
lo tomv seems a word coined at pleafu c; if it means any thinr, i; mulf
be a love of cutting or and wui<h love indeed is not inconfifterr witii
the practice Philotomy plead* for. AN THROPOPUiLUS.
