Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Reply to Dr. Lingard's Vindication of His History of England: As Far as Respects Archbishop Cranmer
Dr. Lingard observes, in a note, Vindio. P. 74. I do not notice the strictures of Mr. Todd on Dr. Milner and Mr. Butler, which he frequently mixes up with his animadversions on my work. Of these two writers the first can make no defence; death has removed him from the petty quarrels, which agitate the inhabitants of this earth.
Dr. Milner was unable, I say it with confidence, to answer at least one grievous charge I brought against him. He lived many months after the accusation. He was silent, as I am sorry to add he was, upon other occa sions, when the fidelity of his references and assertions was questioned.
The latter, (mr. Butler, ) Dr. Lingard continues, though seventy-seven winters have passed over his head, still wields the pen with the energy of youth. He has re plied, and as far as I can judge, most satisfactorily replied, to Mr. Todd, in his Letters to Charles Blundell, Esq.
