But lord Bolingbroke, on whose judgment be relied, dissuaded him from that design. He told the Dean, there were several facts he knew to be false, and that the whole was so much in the spirit of party-wntmg, that though it might have made a seasonable pamphlet in the time of the admlnistration, it was a dishonour to just history.
