Excerpt from The Spectator, Vol. 3: No; 170, Friday, Sept; 14, 1711 to No; 251, Tuesday, Dec; 18, 1711
I am to the last degree at a loss what to do with this young fellow, except I declare him an outlaw, and pronounce it penal for any one to speak to him in the said house which he frequents, and direct that he be obliged to drink his tea and coffee without sugar, and: not receive from any person whatsoever any thing above mere necessaries.
As we in England are a sober people, and gene rally inclined rather to a certain bashfulness of beha viour in public, it is amazing whence some fellows come whom one meets with in 'this town; they do not at all seem to be the growth of our island; the pert, the talkative, all such as have no sense of the Observation of others, are certainly of foreign ex traction. As for my part, I am as much surprised when I see a talkative Englishman, as I Should be to see the Indian pine growing on one Of our quick set hedges. Where these creatures get sun enough, to make them such lively animals and dull men, is above my philosophy.

Sir,
As the professed design of this work is to entertain its readers in general, without giving offence to any particular person, it would be difficult to find out so proper a patron for it as yourself, there being none whose merit is more universally acknowledged by all parties, and who has made himself more friends, and fewer enemies. Your great abilities, and unquestionable integrity, in those high employments which you have passed through, would not have been able to have raised you this general approbation, had they not been accompanied with that moderation in an high fortune, and that affability of manners which are so conspicuous through all parts of your life. Your aversion to any ostentatious arts of setting to show those great services which you have done the public, has not likewise a little contributed to that universal acknowledgement which is paid you by your country.
The consideration of this part of your character, is that which hinders me from enlarging on those extraordinary talents, which have given you so great a figure in the British Senate, as well as in that elegance and politeness which appear in your more retired conversation.
