Having, however, in haste pronounced judgment, they now, unfortunately, - as their impartial decision, after both sides had been thoroughly heard, would have been very valuable - stand committed; and the world has to form an opinion upon evidence which cannot be dispelled or distorted by a sudden stroke from the magic wand of any modern Circe.

Plutarch wrote an Essay which was meant to demonstrate the benefits a man may receive from his enemies. Had the author of the pages about to be reviewed ever had an opportunity of perusing the argument, his peculiar notoriety as a modern Aristarchus - now that mankind has somewhat tardily insisted upon the observation of the adage, Audi alteram partem - would most probably not have been courted under its present guise: and if Mr. Hamilton had wished to raise the celebrated "Perkins folio" a step higher in the estimation of many, he could scarcely have devised a surer method for so doing than the publication of his "Inquiry."

Those who take the least interest in Literature - a wide term be it observed - though they may not claim to be comprehended under the title of literati, can scarcely view the cause for which the gladiators are at this present moment so fiercely contending in the arena of Les belles Lettres, without a certain degree of interest. A controversy, - every day growing more famous as its vast importance makes itself sensible, assuming various aspects and shapes as fresh combatants enter the lists, - a controversy such as the title of this pamphlet will explain, can hardly be brought to a satisfactory conclusion without revealing disclosures which may be unwelcome to the parties concerned, though of incalculable interest and moment to the public, before whom they have laid their case.
