Excerpt from The Life of Richard Bentley, D. D. Master of Trinity College, and Regius Professor of Divinity in the University of Cambridge, Vol. 2 of 2: With an Account of His Writings, and Anecdotes of Many Distinguished Characters During the Period in Which He Flourished Although many of Johnson's strictures are well founded, yet it must not be inferred from his positive and contemptuous tone, that all the objects of his displeasure are shameful blunders.' Bentley might have found in his enemy's work sufficient matter for severe retaliation. But I am not aware that he deigned to take any notice, either public or private, of this attack, or even showed a consciousness of its existence indeed, when his Horace was reprinted in 1728, he omitted to correct some undoubted slips in language pointed out by Johnson; from which we might infer that he had never seen the schoolmaster's production.
