My dear Lord,
The Reviewer's remarks are so learned and so ir relevant that it is very difficult to answer them. His objects seems to have bee, to display his own knowledge - at least there is so very much appearance of this, that it is scarcely uncharitable to say so. - As far as 'The Elements of Logic' are concerned, he is answered in one word, viz that he is irrelevant but when one leaves the high & uncon{caret: "tro"}vertible ground & descends into the arena, doubtless it is difficult for such as me to engage him.
I am sorry this letter has been so long delayed - it is now so little worth your Grace's reading. I really have not the learning to say more.
I am, my dear Lord,
Yours very sincerely,
