Manners of the generality. Nothing plain and simple is any longer relish'd at our Tables; and the wholesome, substantial, nutritious Food of our Forefathers, must give place to high season'd Compounds, and puff'd elaborated Nothings, more adapted to please the Eyes and tickle the Palate, than to administer Health and Strength to the Body. With regard to Dress, the Dis- temper is farther advanc'd. All Distinction of Character is sacriligiously thrown down. We are no longer able to estimate the Measure of a Philosopher's Wisdom and Erudition, by the Size of his venerable Wig, or the Length of its sagacious flowing Tails. Nay, Gravity it- self, that unfailing Index of Depth of Thought, and Operoseness of Study, is now entirely eras'd. The Sage no longer advertises his Treasures of Knowledge within, by a stately measured Pace, and a solemn Apathy of Countenance without. The abstracted Metaphysician, the learned Doctor of Medicine and the abstruse Mathematician, now walk, eat, drink, and per- form the common Offices of Life like other Folks. But this is the least of our Misfortune. The Disease has affected the nobler Parts; our mental Taste is vitiated, and the profound and weighty Productions of Erudition, however garnished with Solemnity and Gravity, will not go down, except they are season'd with paltry common Sense .- Ah giddy and perverse Generation! how long will ye obstinately attempt to measure Truth by the Rule of your own crooked Understandings! Why do ye toss up your Noses and refuse to have them saddled with metaphysical Spectacles, ye Heretics! will you dare to separate the Idea of Wisdom from Gravity-of Solidity of Reasoning, from Solemnity of Diction, and of Erudition, from learned Degrees! Procul. O procul este, profani-odi profanum Vulgus et arceo .- And to convince you, once for all, of your shortsightedness and

blundering Conceit, I will just point out to you the Iniquity of one of your recent Decisions. You have affected to be surpris'd at a late Publication from Prince- ton-shrugged up your Shoulders, and express'd all the Airs of Contempt. You insist upon it that the Author has palm'd upon you nothing but dull Evasion; and say that a Performance with so little Substance, and such a Superfluity of grave Assertions, looks like the little Head of Tom Barebones, the meagre Pantaloon under the Umbrage of a luxuriant Perriwig. But I shall soon con- vince you of your Mistake. The Opacity is not in the performance, but in your own Understanding .- Cast up your Eyes to the Sun, honest Neighbor !- Look a little longer-a little longer still !- You would swear you saw it spotted like the Face of a Belle with Patches in Days of yore .- See, now Sir; blush for your Ignorance! every common Scholar will tell you the Spots are not in the Sun, but proceed from your Eyes being disordered by gazing on its Brightness. Just such a delusion you are under with Respect to the performance we are speaking of. You impute it to the Disorders of your own Intel- lects .- Boy ! fetch me here my critical Glasses, and I will point out to this Gentleman his Errors, and the Beauties of the Composition before us.
Well, Sir, now I am ready. I entreat your Attention to what the Doctor intimates to you in his Introduction. "BE PLEASED, says he, ONLY TO INTIMATE TO THE PUB- LIC THAT A CONCEAL'D SLANDER DESERVES NO ANSWER." I know that you are preparing to say that in a Controversy concerning Facts, which every Man has an Opportunity of being acquainted with, and when the Credibility of a Representation rests not on the Testi- mony of any particular Person, to know the Names of the Disputants can be of no Moment. You will imper- tinently allege-that you can now as well judge whether

CAUSIDICUS is just in his Observations on the Address- whether the Doctor's Panegyric on the College of Prince- ton-that its Teachers are not chosen by ministerial Recommendations, or the overbearing Weight of Family Influence, meant something or nothing, alluded to the College of New York, or the Way in which Things happen in Britain, Nova Zembla, and the Lord knows where-whether his Assertion is true that the Number of Undergraduates at Princeton, is near four Times the Number of those at any College to the Southward of New England-Your HIGH MIGHTINESS will insist, I say that you can determine as well the Conclusiveness of Arguments on these Topics, whether the Author's Name is Causidicus, or Toby, or Gregory, or Ap Morgan, or Ap Jones, as you could distinguish a Jew's Harp from a Fiddle without knowing the Fabricators Name. You will tell me, Sir, that, according to your Worship's Judgment, Causidicus wrote with Decency and Modera- tion-that you would not allow naughty Words to pass for Argument-that the Doctor had no Right to assume your Office of Judge, and dismiss the Controvercy, by pronouncing that his Antagonist was a conceal'd Slanderer, and therefore deserved no Answer; and that he might at least have given you his Reasons for this Adjudication.
But not so fast, my good Sir,-by Beard of Bum- bastus, you stumble at every Step! To show you what a Novice you are in Controvercy-turn me over a Page of Longinus, Quintillian, or Cicero .- There, Sir, do they not tell you that an Orator in his Introduction, must endeavor to gain the good Opinion of his Judges, and prepossess them against his Opponent. And has not the Doctor followed the Rule to a Hair? Nay, has he not done the Business of his Antagonist, and broke the Cord of his Argument at a Jerk. He need not have said a
