To Erskine
(1)
Well but, Sir You set out with a profession of seriousness
and all this is nothing nothing have you come out with better than at attempt to throw ridicule —
where is the consistency, where the sincerity of all this?
My professions were serious sincere my endeavours no less
so. But no sooner had I set out than without any and against
intention wish my feet stept aside into as path which, on
the account of its aptitude to lead more into terminate in delusion
& it is my wish for which I never so willingly and howsoever I may now and then
permanently put the path of seriousness. But the case is
that when an argument is to a certain degree inapposite, being covered by/decked out in false colours
it can not be divested of that covering, and exhibited
in its genuine true character shape without being exposed to ridicule.
But it has on all occasions been my choice
rather to tire my readers than either to deceive them, or
to in/by any candid eye be regarded as endeavouring at it so to do.
By way of recapitulation and For a conclusion I will therefore, with all the gravity I am
master of, and at the expence of many a contagious
yawn, submitt to conclude this letter with Your Lordship's the consideration
the following positions.
Lett 7 Whigs Anti Reformist
§5 Page 4. Whig Excellence
Conclusion
1 or 1
E My professed seriousness:
this is ridiculed
J.B. Seriousness was
intended: but so inapposite
were the arguments,
to state them
was to ridicule them
But choosing rather to
lose than deceive
here follows certain
in the following positions
