34 ANNALS OF HORSEMANSHIP. 



NOTE. 



Mr. Gambado fhews more good writing, at leaft more knowledge 

 of what good writing fhould be, in the beginning of the above 

 Anfwer, than in any of his Letters. The judicious Reader will 

 obferve that the Anfwer at firft is an echo of the Letter it re- 

 plies to. This is approaching to excellence ; it is bordering on 

 the abilities of a Statefman ; for fo the Minifter's addrefs re- 

 echoes the fjjeech frortl the Throne. Geoffrey's parts appear 

 furely calculated for more places than one ; and I do not fcruple 

 to think it poffible, that, with a proper education, he might have 

 been on the Treafury Bench ; and a very pretty Statefman, 1 dare 

 fay, he would have made. 



NOTE. 



The Dii^ionary above alluded to, is a very deep work ; inllead 

 of its containing more words by thoufands only than are in Johnfon 

 — Johnfon does not give us ten words that are in it — nor does it 

 contain much above ten words that are in Johnfon. No family fhould 

 be without it, efpecially fuch as have plenty of young Mafters and 

 MifTes in them ; for it will at once fatisfy any little doubts in their 

 unfledg'd underflandings, and let them into all the natural, but vul- 

 gar tricks and exprefiions that they ought to avoid. H his admirable 

 Didionary is entitled a ClafTical Didionary of the Vulgar Tongue. 



NOTE. 



If Lord Aboyne fliould lofe his Crell, which I don't fee how he 

 can well do, 1 would advife him to adopt this print of Mr. Nutmeg's 

 huater, to which his Lordfhip's motto is finely applicable. 

 " Stant iictera t'mio."
