An attack by Baron Hervey on Bolingbroke and Pulteney, the "two honble patrons," written in reply to the last letter of Bolinbroke's Remarks on the history of England, a defense of Pulteney and himself, which appeared in the Craftsman. It is also ascribed to Wm Arnall and, sometimes, to Walpole who probably inspired it.
