whether all these are one and the fame perfon, and the laft production anfwerable for all the actions of the preceding. If Dr. Priestley will refolve this cafe, it may give fome new light to his fyftem."

And if the Monthly Reviewers will take the trouble of turning to what they themselves have formerly written on the fubject of perfonal identity, they will fee all this fine raillery of theirs pointed against themselves. The mereft tyro in the fchools of philofophy is cured of the vulgar errour of imputing identity of perfon either to the fame matter or the fame form. Indeed the faid Monthly Reviewe.s are not the fame Monthly Reviewers; that is, they are not themselves, or they must have ftrangely forgot themselves, to reafon and write fo inconfiftently.

On the whole, I look upon this charge, brought against Dr. Priestley, of maintaining the materiality of the foul, in that fenfe, in which ancient and modern atheists (to use the term adopted by the Reviewers) have accepted it as being favourable to infidelity, to be as invidious and fcandalous as it is falfe and in fact groundless.

To the LONDON REVIEWERS.

GENTLEMEN,

You will probably think the following rhimes beneath the dignity of your undertaking; but, as every popular fong of courfe produces an anfwer, and as you have indulged your correfpondent G. A. S. by the infertion of a fimilar jeu d'efprit, I think I have a claim on your impartiality to the like indulgence.

Portman-Square,

Jan. 10, 1776.

Yours,

S. A. G.

Answer to the DUENNA, a new Song to an old Tune;

Printed in the London Review for December.

III.

As now-a-days,

Your own d-n'd plays
Won't pass upon the town-a,
Your mufe is vex'd,
Piqu'd and perplex'd

Her's goes fo glibly down-a,

IV.

But lack-a-day
Should Harris play
Your opera, long expected,
Like Duellift

It would be hifs'd,
Like Widow'd Wife neglected.

V.

Perform'd in vain,
At Drury-lane,

Your boafted Falstaff's Wedding

That hated house,

Were you a mouse,

You'd ne'er more get your head in,
VI.

Tho' fhrewd and arch,

Too stiff and starch

To please the prefent age, Sir,

Write on Reviews,

Nor let your mufe

More meddle with the stage, Sir.

VII.

Since fad he is,

Protract your phiz,

And with her do condole, man?
Nor let her grin,

Curl'd up her chin,

At Garrick and at Colman.

**We have, to oblige our correfpondent, inferted the above; but could with any future productions of this kind, efpecially when levelled at our Editor, might be communicated to the publick in a more proper channel.

Mr. SETON, having become our profeffed affociate in the conduct of the London Review, begs leave to withdraw his intended farewell epistle to Dr. Priestley; the publication of which is the lefs necessary as other correfpondents have fince attacked the notions, against which he first drew his pen.
