Description

Excerpt from An Answer to a Scandalous Libel, Entitled, the Impertinence and Imposture of Modern Antiquaries Display'd: Or a Refutation of the Reverend Mr. Wise's Letter to Dr. Mead, Concerning the White Horse, and Other Antiquities in Berkshire It is plain this was the Reafon of its Publication; becaufe the Apprehenfion of an imperfeet Copy is urged in the Preface, as on Apology with the learned Gentlemen on the other fide the {qw fiion (thank Heavens they are not all Fools) for the Lz'hertz'es of the Styles. I am forry there is any Man, that ventures into Print, (lands in need of being told, there can be no Apology for: abufive Words and feurrilous Language. If the Subject be ever fo trifling, or ever (0 weakly maintained, yet Civility and Good Manners ought to be ufed in anfwering or refuting, and all per fonal Refleetions ought carefully to be avoided; as what cannot: firengthen an Argument, and never does (0 much hurt (in the eitimation of that Part of the World, whofe Favour and Regard is to be valued) to the Perfon, 011 whom they are cai't as to him that throws them. If the Prefacer had but fufpee'ted, that the Style of the Letter needed any Apology; the kindeft thing he' could have done would have been to have made it more cleanly' and decent for it is much better to avoid wanting an Apology, than to aim at a bad one; and there can be no room to make one; fora premeditated Offence. As'to Rnfh'tnr himfelf, I fhall only obferve, that 'tis plain he muff be mightily in love with the Fault.
