Heath, near Wakefield in Yorkfhire, a gen- 
tleman of fortune and a gettfteman-fidler : 
by a gentleman-fidler, I mean a fcraper ; for 
fuch, gentlemen fidlers generally are. "Damn 
it," he would fay, <c thofe rafcally compofers 
invented thefe Cliffs on purpofe to puzzle 
gentlemen." I do not, with Mr. Roebuck, 
believe that they were invented with that 
intention; for they are frequently of indif- 
penfible neceffity; but they are often intro- 
duced, particularly in the Mufic of the laft 
age, when there is not the lead occafion 
for them. The wanton introduction of va- 
rious Cliffs is certainly wrong. I fhall tell 
you fomething about &me in my next letter. 
Adieu.
