Partridge, to happen on March 29, 1708. This he is pleased to contradict absolutely in the almanac he has published for the present year, and in that ungentlemanly manner (par- don the expression) as I have above related. In that work he very roundly asserts that he " is not only now alive, but was likewise alive upon that very 29th of March, when I had foretold he should die. " This is the subject of the present controversy between us ; which I design to handle with all brevity, perspicuity, a...nd calmness. In this dispute I am sensible the eyes not only of England, but of all Europe, will be upon us; and the learned in every country will, I doubt not, take part on that side where they find most appearance of reason and truth. Without entering into criticisms of chron- ology about the hour of his death, I shall only prove that Mr. Partridge is not alive. And my first argument is thus: Above a thou- sand gentlemen having bought his almanacs for this year, merely to find what he said against me; at every line they read they would lift up their eyes and cry out, betwixt rage and laughter, " They were sure no man alive ever writ such damned stuff as this.
