The most sanguine of your Admirers could not, I fancy, more inpartially state the Case, as it has been represented by them in your Behalf. Now let us examine what is the Opinion of as many on the other Side. Their first great Charge, is, that in the narrative Part of her Letters, you have interspersed too many Scenes that directly tend to inflame the Minds of Youth: Next, that _Pamela_ instead of being artless and innocent sets out at first with as much Knowledge of the Arts of the Town, as if she had been born and bred in _Covent_ Garden, all her Life Time; that your fine Gentleman does not come up to the Character you would fain have him be thought to assume, that his Sister Lady _Davers_, is little better than a downright _Billingsgate_, and her poor Lord is the only one who meets with Pity. That Mrs. _Jewkes_ might take _Colbrand_ with her and set up in a House somewhere in the Purlieus of _St. Giles_, while honest Mother _Jervis_ might marry _Jonathan_, and perhaps be promoted to a little Inn of Squire _B_'s in the Country, even that Mrs. _Pamela_ stopp'd at in her Journey to the _Lincolnshire_ Estate. Thus, Sir, do many enter into Conversation with the Character of Men of Taste and Pleasantry, find Fault in Opposition to the exuberant Praises bestow'd on _Pamela_ by others. I however was much more pleas'd for my own Part with the Opinion of a stay'd sober Gentleman, who was then call'd upon to declare his Sentiments, tho' I don't send it to you as an Extract from a _Curious Letter_, neither was it submitted to him, as a Gentleman of the MOST distinguish'd Taste and Abilities. But to the best of my Remembrance he express'd himself something like the following Manner.
