This produced a printed answer 

 from Mr. Price, to which he had my per- 

 mission to prefix my letter, and thus our 

 opinions were brought into more general 

 notice; and I supposed we had both satis- 

 fied the public, by shewing how Uttle we 

 disagreed; or rather, by demonstrating 

 that these gentlemen had not gone deep 

 enough into the subject; or, as it is ex- 

 pressed in a letter from a Right Hon. 

 Friend, " that they did not trace with 

 " any success the causes of their plea- 



" This letter is inserted as the most valuable testi- 

 mony in support of my defence, from a friend, whose 

 name, were I permitted to mention it, would confer 

 lustre on my work, as it does on every cause to which 

 he gives his support. 



" Dear Sir, 



" I MUST not delay to thank 



" you at once for your obliging offer of the use of 



" your house, and for the very agreeable present of 



" your printed letter to Mr. Price. I read it the mo- 



" ment that I received it, and read it in the way most 



'' flattering to the writer, by taking it up without any 



" settled purpose, and being carried on by approbation
