Description
Concerning a certain law-suit, he calls notice to a point mentioned in Scott Smith's notes; the judge declared that he was "no party man", but Coleman had a "talk" with him in the Commercial Advertizer for 1798 on the same subject, and he means to remind him of something not very palatable; he observes that his correspondent has copied his remarks on Cheetham's notice of his correspondent's trial for the Palladium; he has left his proper path of politics to wrangle with doctors in their own province; the nonsense of theorists must be combatted; his adversaries will be Miller and Mitchell, the ablest men here, but if his friends will only furnish him with books enough he will read and digest and write away.
