serrations Tbese t § haii expose ; fta of these I-ha ? e a * igHt to complain . I shall simply slate therfc without any comment dr epithet . There is gre&t incorrectness in the arrangement of foots , which gives a wrong colour to the whaletransaction ; feut I shall nol descend into minute particulars of this sort . When I shew the reader that the Summary contains assertions which are not true * I must leave him to judge of the correctness of the Summary altogether . I . W . says that ¦ ¦** the attention of

What will the reader sa ^ Gor * rectness of this statement , \ vhteh pro fesses to be a Summary ^ &c , when he may see in your Repository that the first letter was a short one , dated Ja * nuary 14 th , aad that rny long letter was not the first * but a reply to a long communication from Sir Rose Price *
dated January 21 st ?—a vindication of myself . . ' . Secondly , I . W . says , and he writes the passage as a qiiotation between inverted commas , giving the following passage as my words , < f Mr . Le Grice remarks , That he ( Sir Rose Price )
had gone to London and got himself introduced to Dr . Pearson , the King * s private chaplain and spiritual adviser , and throu gh his means had become acquainted with the fact of the King ' s private opinions ; which he would not have discovered , had Dr . P ; been cau ^ tioned against the insidious design of the Baronet / " These expressions are
given as mine—as if used by me . I netfer used these expressions . I never said that Sir R , P . saw Dr . Pearson 3 nor 19 any such expression to be found in my Correspondence as " which he would not have discovered , " &c . I . W .
cannot excuse himself b y saying , such a meaning migl ^ t be implied . He professes to sum up , to act as a judge , and he gives words as mine , which I never used , and omits a letter of mine , ( see Repository , p . 149 , ) which would have cleared up any misconception . I . W . says , A meeting was called , and Sitf Rose Price soon received a copy of their resolution to displace

serious charge . I . W . has accused me wrongfully and shamefully : he has given expressions as mine which I ne ^ er used : he introduces the chairge deliberately , and comments on it M * liberately ; and therefore it is not an inference drawn ia haste . Indeed , if
it were , this would be no excji ^ e , for he professes to give a Summary , which implies analysis and due examination . He says , " Sir Rose Price is charged by ! Le ; Grice < with endeavouring to get into Parliament , that he , might attempt the Overthrow of the Church
altogether ^ " These words , which I never used , are given as a quotation I . W * goes on to say , € C Respecting such a line of conduct , he ( Le Orice ) observes that , * Whoever shall pre * sume to innovate , alter , or misrepresent any point in the Articles of the Church
of England , ought to be arraigned as a traitor to the State ; heterodoxy in the one naturally introducing hetero ^ doxy in the other : a crime which it concerns the Civil magistrate to restrain and punish , as well as the Ecclesiastical . '" I . W . then proceeds to
comment on " such language as this /* Now what will any man of common feeling and honesty say ( I will make no comment myself ) when I declare that no such expressions were ever uttered or written by me ? In what a
light must I have been viewed , if this Summary had been printed without the Correspondence ! The whole of the Summary is very incorrect ; but having exhibited ^ such positive misstatements , I need add nothing more than that I am , &c . &e . ^
C . V . LE GRICE . P . S . I . W . has-in-the above Sum * ixiary treated me in such a manner , that he deprives me of the pleasure which I should have had in shewing
