Mr Smollet was a man of considerable learning, with abundance of animal spirits; so that he was a very good companion for Dr Johnson, who said to me, 'We have had more solid talk here than at any place where we have been.

'That's what Crupper and Smollet are doing in London. They're dividing the pie between the two parties. 'That's very interesting, but how are they going to deliver the pieces?

We were favoured with Sir James Colquhoun's coach to convey us in the evening to Cameron, the seat of Commissary Smollet . Our satisfaction of finding ourselves again in a comfortable carriage was very great.
To clinch the cause, and fuel add to fire, Behind came Hamilton, his trusty squire: Awhile he paus'd, revolving the disgrace, And gath'ring all the honours of his face; Then rais'd his head, and, turning to the crowd, Burst into bellowing, terrible and loud: 'Hear my resolve; and first by I swear, By Smollet, and his gods, whoe'er shall date With him this day for glorious fame to vie, Sous'd in the bottom of the ditch shall lie; And know, the world no other shall confess, While I have crab-tree, life, or letter-press. Scar'd at the menace, authors fearful grew, Poor Virtue trembled, and e'en Vice look'd blue."
