Excerpt from The Red Book of the Exchequer: A Reply to Mr. J. H. Round
In the first place it seems to be of much importance to ascertain whether, apart from those offences against good taste which are inseparable from such productions, Mr. Round's attack may be regarded as legitimate criticism or as the expression of private malice.
Mr. Round has published his motives for this attack, which are stated to be the 'public spirit' which has induced him to 'devote his time and toil to the work, and to publish the result of his labours at his own expense.' And the writer adds It is simply because I felt it my duty, as possessing the special knowledge required, to undertake this thankless task that I now publish these studies.' Unfortunately it can be shown that there is no real zeal for the public welfare underlying Mr. Round's criticism of my work, but that it is throughout actuated by private malice. It will also appear from the facts which I am about to relate, that Mr. Round has sought to wreak his malice by means which I will not attempt to characterise.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the tumultuous relationship between the author and renowned scholar, J.H. Round, who engaged in a bitter public feud with the author.
