ANTI-DESIGN.
Scriblerus , jun. is a pedant! 'Tis plain, Luce clarius—he writeth this only to shew his erudition and reading. Who knoweth not Gilbert Cooper, Esq; first used the word Design? Who knoweth not in that Design, he speaketh of his Style very largely? Idle—in Scriblerus; why not give honour where due? Why not own from whence he borrow'd this word and method of writing? Ω κριτικων γενος αναιδες, Scriblerorum frontissime Furfur! R. Aristarchus.
