Excerpt from A Reply to an Unsentimental Sort of Critic, the Quarterly Review for October in the Quarterly Review for October of Otherwise
For the hundred and ninety-ninth time I answer, no one ever denied pope to be a poet, and a great poet; but he is not in the greatest class. Now again to encounter your flippancy. Do you understand my meaning, Sir? No One excluded, or attempted to exclude, pope from being a poet, and a great one but he is not a poet in the same high order as milton is. Do you understand my meaning or are you prepared to say, that, in the highest flight Of poetical imagi nation, pope is of the same wing with milton? Whyithen all this clutter? Let us hear the critic again. The Rev. Wm. L. Bowles has distinguished himself' in this idle controversy; answer, the Rev. Wm. L. Bowles was idly misrepresented. The controversy was not, therefore, idle on his part, but necessary in self-defence. The Opponent, how ever, was Mr. Campbell, and writing to such an opponent was as pleasing as this toil is irksome to me.
