The _loyal_ reader shall comment for himself on the following extract from this admirable Review: "In 1736, a laudable attempt was made to suppress the excessive use of Gin; and the resentment of the populace became so very turbulent, that they even presumed to exclaim in the streets, 'No Gin, no King.' _Whatever respect we may have for the exclamation, 'No Bishop, no King,' we do not think_ that _either monarchy or any other government needs_ the _support_ of this, pernicious distillation." This is what the Reviewer 'tells us,' and _I_ suppose the discovery was made "after many nights of sleepless meditation;" indeed the same degree of intense thought seems to have produced another sapient piece of philosophy or rhetoric, which is offered to our consideration in p. 11 of the Review. "When a bull _gives permission_ to a greater brute than himself to bait him to death with dogs, we will allow that something like a sanction _is given_ to the sport." Surely these specimens of deep cogitation are almost equal to my "_novel_ observation that 'partnerships too frequently produce dissention and a struggle for individual power';" and the Reviewer's own words, "Mr. M. might have _added_ to the spirit and interest of his work by _omitting_ such superfluous details." These superfluous details, good reader, relate to the disputes between Messrs. Harris and Colman in 1768, which, having excited great interest amongst those who frequented the Theatre, could not, and ought not to be omitted to gratify an _invisible individual_, who is perhaps too much of a Philosopher to be pleased with Dramatic Entertainments. The spleen of the Reviewer, having increased by indulgence, attains its _acmè_ of virulence at the close of the article: "In his 12th Chapter Mr. M. professes to exhibit a Sketch of the present State of Society in London; in which we do not meet with much _sagacity of remark_, or _novelty of information_. Take an instance of his _common-place details_: 'The reader must recollect, that when a family is without visitors, it is governed by greater regularity. Many Merchants and rich Tradesmen pass much of their leisure time at Coffee-houses; and dinners are commonly given at those places'."
