Vindication of Spatter by a General Evening Writer
A letter to the editor defending Spatter against The Reviewers accusations of malice toward literary figures. The writer argues distress among authors is common and that even famed minds have compromised ethics for status, citing Cicero, Brecknock, Dryden, and Otway to illustrate alleged moral flexibility. The piece defends the need to consider hardship before judging a writer’s character and ends with a pledge of admiration to the editor.
