ided he refuses to move." With
respect to the Quakers, it makes the young people like the young Jews,
crazy after gentility diversions, worship, marriages, or connections, and
makes old Pease do what it makes Gorgiko Brown do, thrust himself into
society which could well dispense with him, and out of which he is not
kicked, because unlike the gypsy he is not poor. The writer would say
much more on these points, but want of room prevents him; he must
therefore request the reader to have patience until he can lay before the
world a pamphlet, which he has been long meditating, to be entitled
"Remarks on the strikingly similar Effects which a Love for Gentility has
produced, and is producing, amongst Jews, Gypsies, and Quakers."

The Priest in the book has much to say on the subject of this gentility-
nonsense; no person can possibly despise it more thoroughly than that
very remarkable individual seems to do, yet he hails its prevalence with
pleasure, knowing the benefits which will result from it to the church of
which he is the sneering slave. "The English are mad after gentility,"
says he; "well, all the better for us; their religion for a long time
past has been a plain and simple one, and consequently by no means
genteel; they'll quit it for ours, which is the perfection of what they
admire; with which Templars, Hospitalers, mitred abbots, Gothic abbeys,
long-drawn aisles, golden censers, incense, et cetera, are connected;
nothing, or next to nothing, of Christ, it is true, but weighed in the
balance against gentility, where will Christianity be? why, kicking
against the beam--ho! ho!" And in connection with the
gentility-nonsense, he expatiates largely, and with much contempt, on a
species of literature by which the interests of his church in England
have been very much advanced--all genuine priests have a thorough
contempt for everything which tends to advance the interests of their
church--this literature is made up of pseudo Jacobitism, Charlie o'er the
waterism, or nonsense about Charlie o'er the water. And the writer will
now take the liberty of saying a few words about it on his own account.

CHAPTER VI--On Scotch Gentility-Nonsense--Charlie o'er the Waterism.

Of the literature just alluded to Scott was the inventor. It is founded
on the fortunes and misfortunes of the Stuart family, of which Scott was
the zealous defender and apologist, doing all that in his power lay to
represent the members of i
