A CARD.
IT if but charity to suppose, that the prdmpt
gentleman,.who criticifed an imperjea ex
traft, had a faudable motive. So likewise
have they, who commit martyrdom.
But if the gentleman had been less prompt ;
this display of his wit had been, perhaps,
prevented. Even as matters stand, his zeal
appears to have been more prevalent than his
candor* The fubjeft of his remarks was not
called unoriginal: neither did the Editor of
those papers aflume, or pretend to what the
gentleman suggests. Coufcious of the recti
tude of his intention; he contemns all such
insinuations ; which he would not delerve,
gven in thought, for all the metrical lines,
and all the original poetry that ever enriched
a Gazette. He had a much superior objeti
jn view; and of Which every mind is not
susceptible. Should that work ever be pub
lished, no robberies will be dcfignedly com
mitted ; nor unfair attemps made to “fitch
fom any one his geo< nameV
As to the Hymn, the Editor had no suspi
cion of its genuinefs. He sent to the Press a
copy of what had been for several years in
his pofleffion : and if the gentleman were
living, amongst whose papers it was found,
it might poflibly be known, whether it was
manufaftured from the stanzas, or the ftanzaa
from it. ■:*
Be that as it may. The piece was unfi
nished ; and therefore not properly the fubjeft
of criticifm* How it would have been closed,
it was impossible for the gentleman to deter
mine : but tandor would have waited for the
conclusion.
Had that gentleman done so, he would have
found some explanatory remarks : and for the
«« Address to Benevolence” he would have
been referred to F. Y. O. Abcitta’s eflay on
rajhy uncharitable judging.
The Editor, with great deference, submits
the case to the candor of the public ; who, he
hopes, will forgive this obtrusion, to which
be has been unexpectedly compelled# Hav
ing no other delign than to aft justly; and
wishing to prevent such milfakes in future, he
takes the liberty of adding—the gentleman
may poflibly have an opportunity of compar
ing some of these Papers with some Northern
publications; but if, after this precaution,
be fliould give himfelf that trouble ; he will,
in that instance, forfeit all pretentions to a
laudable motive.
