"A vast proportion of them seem to have been christened in what 'Squire Western calls 'a spirit of contrary,' some few of which I will examine, premising at the same time that I feel neighter 'envy, hatred, malice, nor any uncharitableness' towards any of those who 'have lived long on the alms-basket of words,' having laboured myself not exactly in editorial harness, but merely by an occasional application of my shoulder to the 'newspaporial' wheel."
