Note —
The late Dr Price, of a mild temper strict probity, and amiable gentle
manners in private life, but sowered by a particular
leaver cast of theology was originally but a croaker, though one
of the most determined and conspicuous of that tribe.
according to the
observations
and calculations of
this mathematician
Every thing was running down the road to ruin, always
with infinite and always with infinitely-accelerated
velocity. In the main he confined himself to croaking:
the misery was always extreme, and though the
blame, was in the same ratio, yet the cause of it
was rather in the wretched nature of fallen man
than in any particular individual of the fallen all.
vague confused
and superficial
politics
The tendency of his writings was rather to make
a man out of humour with himself and with
every body around him in general than with the King or the
Minister or any such person in particular But
in the exaltation produced by the bright really flattering prospects
that accompanied the first opening of the
French revolution, he emerged from the class
of Croakers, and took his seat in the class of
Carpers, and Carpers of the first order, when he
began talking of "cashiering", and proposed to
transfer the process operation from officers to "Kings".
On the other side it was observed the size of his wig was
commented upon, and as rational a refutation
as many I have seen of many of his writings
was contained in the appellation of Dr Big-wig.
Tho' croaking may exist without carping,
yet wherever the croaker is manifest stands confessed, as
disposition propensity to carping, and to carping of the most
violent furious order is always to be respected apprehended.
