Sample quote about B.W. Newton,

"Now I have no particular love for mine acquiantance N. ;
but I will do him justice ; he is no worse than his saintly
opponents. His admirers say, or rather used to say, for
since his marriage, I suspect, like musquitos, from bosom
friends they have become his back-biters, that he was a
fellow of Oxford at nineteen, and that he was going to
take orders, but his conscience would not perotit him.
The evil-minded worldlings, however, on tliis last point,
whisper something of his having committed himself in
writing, which materially aided his conscience in her de-
cision, — that is no business of mine, so I drop it : I know
him to be a clever man, who unfortunately misdirects his
taleots ; — a good looking fellow for a Saint, and was deci-
dedly, before hia late entrance into wedlock, a pet with
the Saintesses. All flocked to hia gathering ; the other
leaders were non-plused ; hence their abuse, envy, and
heart-burning Jealouaies, "
