[Essay by Philalethes, from Rhode-Island, 29 Nov 1751, re.
money, concluding, 22, 1st full para.]
As this writer has given the world a specimen of his [in
gutter] and abilities, the experiment he has made will
doubtless convince him, that his musick is too low for the
publick theatre. I would therefore as a friend advise him,
for the future, [not] to whistle out of his own cottage.
But to be serious; our author must excuse my telling him
that his bombast, jejune and harangue, has not [deserved] my
animadversions; but had he been capable, and had [in gutter]
with decency and common sense, I should have taken [ ]
notice of what he had said.
