Review of Humphreys
§ Adopt without amendment
(3) (3
The supposed amendments of which I have here paraded
a specimen may in this point of view at any rate have their some
use. If by a man without authority and without influence,
such imperfections have been pointed out — so more ostensible serious the pretence
for doubts and difficulties which might not be the obstacles
raised by a mind which with all the pure authority experience
and address sufficient to give to the works the varnish of the
lost cause, has since the period of its maturity been occupied
by nothing but th or in any rate by nothing better — than the
generation of doubts?
Let it be judged whether it would be wantonly, and
without due consideration, that a man whose whole life has
been a life of deep reflection — who has nothing to gain
and his whole reputation to lose should the course recommended
prove to be a pernicious one would then committ
to hazard whatsoever reputation it may happen to him
to be in possession of in the ground of prudence.
