ledged to be Dr. SMALRIDGE, and the amiable character of the Dean in the fixty-fixth Tatler, drawn for Dr. ATTERBURY; I hope I need fay no more as to my impartiality. I really have acted in these cafes with honefty, and am concerned it fhould be thought otherwife: For wit, if a man had it, unless it be directed to fome useful end, is but a wanton frivolous quality; all that one should value himself upon in this kind is, that he had fome honourable intention in it. As for this point, never hero in romance was carried away with a more furious ambition to conquer giants and tyrants, than I have been in extirpating gamefters and duellifts. And indeed, like one of thofe knights too, though I was calm before, I am apt to fly out again, when the thing that first difturbed me, is prefented to my imagination. I fhall therefore leave off when I am well, and fight with windmills no more: only fhall be fo arrogant as to fay of myself, that, in fpight of all the force of fashion and prejudice, in the face of all the world, I alone bewailed the condition of an English gentleman, whofe fortune and life are at this day precarious; while his eftate is liable to the demands of gamefters, through a falfe fenfe of justice; and to the demands of duellifts, through a false sense of honour. As to the first of these orders of men, I have not one word more to fay of them: as to the latter, I shall conclude all I have more to offer against them, with refpect to their being prompted by the fear of fhame, by applying to the duellift what I think Dr. SOUTH fays fomewhere of the liar, "He is a Coward to man, and a Bravo to God."
