late Honourable Robert Price,
&c. 1734. Price was the bold Briton whose speech--never, I believe,
spoken--was printed in 1702. He would have better deserved to be called

The Life of Price is a miserable performance, full of blunders and
anachronisms.]

[Footnote 665: Van Cleverskirke, Feb 25/March 6 1696. I am confident
that no sensible and impartial person, after attentively reading
Berwick's narrative of these transactions and comparing it with the
narrative in the Life of James (ii. 544.) which is taken, word for word,
from the Original Memoirs, can doubt that James was accessory to the
