Calumny

Calumnies often refuted are the postulatums of scribblers, upon which they proceed as upon first principles.

Calumny robs the public of all that benefit that it may justly claim from the worth and virtue of particular persons, by rendering their virtue utterly insignificant.

If the calumniator bespatters and belies me, I will endeavour to convince him by my life and manners, but not by being like himself.
