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.
