" He had read and seen a great deal, " he says, " with a prodigious memory and a very indifferent judgment. He was extremely partial, and readily took every thing for granted that he heard to the prejudice of those that he did not like, which made him pass for a man of less truth than he really was. I do not think, " continues his lordship, "he designedly published any thing he believed to be false. " This opinion, however, was entirely changed on perusing the second portion of the work, which ...was not published till eleven years after the first.
