BOOK, 4y CHRISTOPHER SMART, fo? 
merly of PEMBROKE HALL.™ 
Of all returns in man’s device 
Tis gratitude that makes the price, 
And what fincerity defigns 
Is richer than Peruvian mines. 
Thus eftimate the heart's intent, 
In what thie faithful hands prefent. 
This volume foon fhall worth derive 
From what your induftry fhall hive, 
And then in every line produce — 
The tale of induftry and ufe. 
Here, too, let your appointments be, 
And fet down many a day for me, 
Oh! may the year we now renew 
Be ftor’d with happinefs for you 5 
With all the wealth your friends would

And all the praife which you refufe 5 
With love, {weet inmate of the breait, 
And meeknefs bowing to be bleft. 
We have already had occcafion to men- 
tion Smart as haying obtained the Sea- 
tonian prize five times; that ts, every 
time he offered himfelf a candidate: in- 
deed, he always thought himfelf certain 
of fuccels. and ufed to call the Seatonian 
prize his Kiflingbury eftate. The prize, 
as every body knows, is paid from the 
rents of Mr. Seaton’s eftate at Kifling- 
bury, which are forty pounds per an- 
num.

What is fauce for the goofe is‘fauce for the

The falfehood of Mr.Cole’s ftatements 
relative to Mr. Robinfon we fhewed in 
our lat number. It is, therefore, kind 
in N.N. to come to the Cardinal’s afiiit- 
ance, though unfortunately he renders 
him no fervice, N. Ns affertion in the 
laft number of the Monthly Magazine, 
being equally untrue as Cole’s ; and thus 
Their arguments together tend 
Againft the canfe they would defend.

N.N., in ftating the violence of Ro- 
hinion againft King James, aflerts, that, 
in his Syllabus of Lectures on Non-ccn-

* This trifle of Mr. Smart’s we have been f2- 
voured with by his daughter, Mrs. Lenoir; we 
have taken fome liberty with the two iat

death of his own fon. Henry was faid 
to be an amiable youth, and highly to 
difapprove the conduct of his father; and 
that there. was fuch a report propagated, 
on his fudden death, may be feen m 
Hume; and that Lord Orford believed 
it (a8 afferted by N.N.) may be true. 
But we folicit N. N. to refer to the Syl- 
labus alluded to, and he will there find, that 
he has led the readers of this Magazine into 
a miftake in regard to Robinfon. Speaking 
of Jamés, indeed, he fays, “* The tyrant 
was fuppofed to be poifoned ;”’ but titis is 
a different thing from faying he poifoned 
his own fon; the mof diftant hint at 
fuch a dreadful crime not being once made. 
Robinfon was too cautious, and, we ap- 
prehend, too well informed on the fubject. 
It is as creditable in N. N. to fet right 
a mifreprefentation, as it is difhonourarle 
to propagate one; and moderate men’s mi/- 
takes may be as injurious as the * lies of 
either Whigs or Tories.” We take the 
liberty of requetting N. N. to read Robin- 
fon’s book with his {pectacles on, or not 
to quote from memory, wlere an attack 
is intended. e ; 
In clofing, we remark, that Cole's im- 
timation that Robinfon had not read King 
Jam:-s’s Works was equally inaccurate as 
his other affertidns; as thofe who ar€ 
acquainted with his works, and King 
James’s, might have fhewn him, The 
fact is, Robinfonread King James's betters 
for ferious purpofes, and King James to 
make fun of. And thus every particle 
advanced by Cole and N.N about Ros 
binfon is inaccurate. 
NO-CLII.—-TIT FOR TAT. 
A gownfman faying once in company 
with Robinfon, that he had juft been ta 
hear a certain clergyman—the moft ad- 
mired preacher in the univerfity—and 
launching out enthufiaftically in his praile 5 
«© Ah! (iaid Robinfon dryly) the gen- 
tleman fprung trom a diflenting family : 
(which was the fat.) The tag-end of 
a Difienter makes a rare churchman.” 
The word fag-end reminded the gowniman 
of avery appofite paflage fomewhere, on 
the origin of the band, which is {umetimes 
feen ituck on the black coat of a Diflenting 
minifter. The paffage nearly amounis 
to this, that when the Old Whore * left

up her ernaments and trinkets in hafte, 
and ran away with only her {mock on.
