At noon to the 'Change a little, then with W. Howe home and dined. So after dinner to my office, and there busy till late at night, having had among other things much discourse with young Gregory about the Chest business, wherein Sir W. Batten is so great a knave, and also with Alsop and Lanyon about the Tangier victualling, wherein I hope to get something for myself.
Coleridge's nephews, the Bishop and Judge are wantonly insulted by this person, and contemptuous speeches of his are reported concerning dead and living individuals, for whom he professed friendship, and from whom he had received substantial proofs of kindness. Heaven preserve me from such a friend as Mr. Alsop!
Stanton smiled, and waived the subject, wondering mentally where his friend would find an elsewhere to scrimp, if he had the management of his concerns. The conversation gradually flowed back to college days and scenes, and the friends amused themselves with tracing the history of their various classmates. "And so Alsop is in the Senate," said Mr. Stanton. "Strange!
It was most unfair to impute to a great party the faults of a few individuals. Even among the Bishops of the Established Church James had found tools and sycophants. The conduct of Cartwright and Parker had been much more inexcusable than that of Alsop and Lobb.
Alsop informed the Congress that he had an invoice of Indian goods, which a gentleman in this town had delivered to him, and which the said gentleman was willing to dispose of to the Congress." The committee "to examine the said invoice and report to the Congress" was composed of Philip Livingston, Patrick Henry, and John Alsop.
He pushed up his spectacles and put on his reading glasses, and instantly snorted: "Say! What is this? the town directory?" He had not read far down the list when he missed one important name. "You've overlooked Mrs. Alsop." "Oh, her! I've quarreled with her. We don't speak, thank heaven." "It would be money In your pocket, if you didn't speak to anybody. Gosh!" he slapped his knee.
Alsop, at the Angel and Bible, in the Poultrey. 1684. This is the most searching treatise that has ever fallen under our notice.
