Excerpt: ... LETTER III. 5 I R, I HAVE taken the liberty, herein, as well as in the preceding letters, of addressing myself, directly, to you, instead of using, as my means of approach, any fictitious name, or any artificial address. I have, in so doing, submitted to the justice of the rule, which you have prescribed to your opponents, in. your Vindication; (a) namely, that the author of a work, ' who boldly gives his "name, and his labours, to the world, im"poses on his adversaries the fair and ho"nourable obligation of encountering him "in open day-light, and of supporting the ' weight of their assertions by the credit of their names."
