 Daily Gazetteeriox December 4, last [1750], in which

 compiler of the Palladium, and the best material 

 designed by contributors for the Diary are reserved 

 by him for the Palladium ; that the latter publica- 

 tion is owned by the compiler, while the former is 

 not. Robert Heath wrote a reply in the Daily 

 Gazetteer of December 6 ; four letters follow on 

 this subject.

 publication of what Turner called a ''scurrilous
