~ !" ard adds I" that the very name Of
Calender with all his vices and his
filth were fuHicient to prevent bis works
from being read" He feems not to
have been aware that this fpecies of
reafoning would alike prove that Du

daily flanders are without venom, BE-
cauf. the names Of the authors, cover

their being read.
The fallacy Of this argument we TOO
well know. There are Perions who
will not only read, but believe what
they fee 70 often repeated in the corruP-

and it is the knowledge of this tatt,
that urges theft editors 10 perlever-

philanthropy of the neqO JcbOOl, he en-
braced him as brother, and cherlihed
him as his belt friend. His labors were
approved of and rewarded not mere
