Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Letters of Pope to Atterbury: When in the Tower of London
Francis atterbury, Bishop of Rochester, was a man whose brilliant talents, and ready application of them, stood him in the stead of profound learning and of political integrity, for both of which he acquired an unmerited reputation. This, as was natural, was especially the case with those who were his intimate and partial friends, and whose own sentiments and sympathies had a similar bias in matters of politics and religion. Even towards such associates he behaved with so much art and duplicity, that they had no suspicion of the traitorous correspondence in which he had engaged, and appear to have really deemed him guiltless upon the charges which led to his exile.
