London. . . February 3. . . Amongst the many illeberal
reproaches made use of by the Solicitor General against Dr.
Franklin, which was so far upon the Greek model (as the
scouts of office boast of) that it highly partook of the
Athenian Billingsgate; he spoke of his being a man of
letters with great contempt . . . [4 lines] and ignorantly
as wantonly compared his conduct to that of Zanga in Dr.
Young's Revenge, which he concluded by observing, was in
favour of the African Prince, who was by much the honester
man. --There is no party man so violent as an apostate.
