Extract

When Mr. Walpole's Historic Doubts were first published, I sat down with great eagerness to peruse what could be offered by an author of his acutenese upon so interesting an article in our English History. After examining the authors referred to as I went along, I made the following remarks, more for my own satisfactction, than with design of communicating them to the public; but as Dean Milles's ingenious Observations on the same subject have been read before the Society, and deservedly obtained a place amongst their Miscellaneous Tracts lately published, I take the liberty of laying these before them, with great deference to their judgement, as a supplement thereto, he having chosen to confine himself chiefly to the Wardrobe Account, which he has handled in so masterly a manner, as, in my opinion, intirely to overset all the arguments built upon it.
