Miot de Melito speaks of them as "Bourrienne and other subordinate scoundrels," and, indeed, Miot de Melito does not exaggerate in his estimate of them.

My attention was attracted once by a notice in the window of a West-End emporium, "Gentlemen supplied." It is to such like Universal Providers that the fashionable novelist goes for his gentleman.
