For being willing to make this last and almost incredible concession, he begged pardon sincerely of the King.

In this case he will be considered as censurable by many, because he will be looked upon as a dealer in the superfluities condemned by his own religion. The last occupation I shall notice is that of a silversmith. And here the censure will depend upon a contingency also.

Its career was brief briefer, indeed, than it need have been. A naturally short life was suicidally shortened. In the second number, records Coleridge, with delightful naivete, "an essay against fast-days, with a most censurable application of a text from Isaiah for its motto, lost me near five hundred subscribers at one blow."
