A respectable Correspondent in Somersetshire (whom we thank for his communication) calls in question our opinion of an eminent Lexicographer, whom we have styled, in our last Number, "the King of All the Conjurors." Our friend reminds us, that our opinion stands opposed to certain authorities, which he enumerates. Now, if such a consideration weighed with us at all, there are few authorities to which we should be disposed to pay greater deference, than some of those cited: but we have taken our stand upon our own ground; and it is one principle of the Clerical Magazine, that it sets authorities at defiance. In the present instance, indeed, there are some which we might quote on the other side; but, in so doing, we should be only going off our ground. Our plan is, to try books, opinions, theories, prevailing notions, public measures, public characters, and existing institutions, upon their own merits. What others may think or say of them is nothing to the purpose. Still we must observe, that our worthy Correspondent's representations confirm our view of the said Lexicographer's character. It is the business of conjurors to deceive. Surely, then, the name of conjuror is eminently his, who has succeeded, even if but for a time, in deceiving such persons as are now cited against us. If the writer in question had come before us in the attitude of gaunt, staring, truculent, plain-spoken, downright infidelity, we should have called him an infidel. As it is, we have called him a conjuror. Nay, our Correspondent's letter confirms our view still farther. For he informs us that he has actually allowed the work in question a place in his library; and yet writes off to us, at a distance of 160 miles, politely requesting us to analyse the book for him, and to tell him whether it be really pernicious, or very harmless and useful. Such an author-so gaining a footing in the library of a clergyman, and so eluding detection, when in it, as to his true character, that becomes necessary to send into the East for help to make out what he does, most assuredly and fully, establish his claim to the title of " K. of All the Conjurors." At the same time, we wound by no means have him turned out: for, like Macknight, Rosenmüller, Mant and D'Oyly, Tomline, Van Mildert, Gesenius, Griesbach, &c. &c. &c., he may occasionally furnish useful hints to the more advanced student, though a very improper writer to be put into the hands of a beginner.
