And take my word for it, you have contributed your Ihare to this good work. For as you began, fo you conclude your volume with a mafler ftroke of ad- drefs, which will deferve the acknowledg- ment and imitation of all your brethren, as [ 32 ] as I now proceed diflin6lly and with great exa6lnefs of method to unfold. The first way of diftinguifhing a learned friend, without incurring the guilt of downright compliment, is by 'Writing on the fame JubjeSl with him. This is an ob- vious method of pay...ing one's court to a great writer. For it is in efFe6l telling him that the public attention is raifed to the argument he hath been debating 5 and that his credit hath even brought it into fuch vogue that any prate on the fame fubje6l is fure of a favourable reception. This I Kan readily fuppofe^to have been your firft motive for engaging in this controverfy. And the praftice is very frequent. So when a certain edition of Shakespear ap- peared, tho* it had been but the amufe- ment of the learned editor, every body went to work, in good earnefl, on the great poet, and the public was prefently over-run with editions and criticifms and illuftrations of him.
