But his candid soul converts all this to _vanity_: and, no doubt, vanity finds endless occupation for ingenuity and invention. Suggests that a family ought to be proud of civic honours. Many thanks to the _suggestive_ STATIONER; but if this family is not, what cares the world about it? It may have gained nothing by the position; but if he will be _obtrusive_, let him tell the next editor who is in want of matter another _secret_--for he uses _this term_ in his disquisition--that Mr. Gyll, in 1789, refused to be created a Baronet, and that the patent was made out and was ready for execution. See the newspapers _passim_, 18th and 23rd April, 1789. It may be the family desires no remembrance of the honours conferred, or the honours proffered; and if so, what daring presumption gives a STATIONER a plea to impugn any act done by A. or B., and parade it before the public in an accommodating journal? His confined education may preclude his knowing that a Lord Stanhope doffed his title and removed his arms from all his carriages; and that Horace Walpole remarked, that calling him "My Lord," was calling him _names_ in his old age. Many have not assumed honours to which they were entitled. As the STATIONER, or the poor malice of the writer under this name, has made a _charge_, I trust, Sir, in your _equity_, that you will insert this explanation in your next number; and I also trust to read in your most interesting and useful publication, for the future, more that _concerns_ the curious world than that a family substituted on a monument a _y_ for an _i_, and withheld altogether the naming of an honour which might have appeared there. GORDON GYLL. 7, Lower Seymour Street, Portman Square." (_b_) "As you have not published the letter I sent to your office in answer to that of A STATIONER, and also to an LL.D., who, instead of quietly confining himself to an opinion on a point of law, rushed into _personalities_ quite unjustified by circumstances, for no letter was addressed to him unless he be the STATIONER in disguise, who, in his arrogance dared to say that I was ignorant of the first principles of composition--I wish to know whether the LL.D. or STATIONER mean to assert that by our improving certain monuments in Wraysbury Church (which we, as a family acting in unison, were entitled to do without the interference of anyone) we have falsified them. If that be intended, we consider the allegation _false and injurious_, and unless we have an unequivocal denial, we shall refer the case to our legal adviser. The entire object of the STATIONER was to insult our family, and to impute motives, which was enough to incite to resentment.
