_Pursuits of Literature._--The lines upon the pursuits of literature,
quoted by you at p. 212., remind me of some others, which I have heard
ascribed to Mr. Grattan, and are as follows:--
"'Tis well, Pursuits of Literature!
But who, and what is the pursuer,
A Jesuit cursing Popery:
A railer preaching charity;
A reptile, nameless and unknown,
Sprung from the slime of Warburton,
Whose mingled learning, pride, and blundering,
Make wise men stare, and set fools wondering."
