Real. 11-6-29 E.R, то JAMES CURRIE, of Liverpool, M. D.F.R.S. &c. DEAR SIR, WH HEN your letter, commercial and political, came out, under the name of JASPER WILSON, I was bufy, during the mornings, with my ufual duties, and, during the evenings, with very different studies. I little heeded Jafper Wilfon, or his letter; thinking him to be one of thofe patriotic writers, who dash out on the call of the moment, to alarm by their vehemence, or to delude by their fophiftry. Amidst thofe engagements, and under that apathy, I had remained fome months, when I was told by our common friend, that you were the real author of Jafper Wilfon's letter. A few days had only paffed away, when I heard the bookfellers runners loudly announcing, in bookfellers fhops, that Doctor Currie, of Liverpool, was the true Jafper Wilfon. Ah! thought I, my old acquaintance, by revealing his own fecret, has furnished his adverfaries with half an answer to his letter; as he has enabled them to ask, who, and what, is he? why doth he publish? a |
