SAMUEL HICKSON.

P.S.--Since writing the above, I have seen MR. KEIGHTLEY's letter. I hope

he will not deprive the readers of "N. & Q." of the benefit of his valuable

communications for the offences of one or two. He might consider, first,

that his own dignity would suffer least by letting them pass by him "as the

idle wind;" and, secondly, that some allowance should be made for gentlemen

who engage in controversy on a subject which, strangely enough, next to

religion, seems to be most productive of discord.
