THE POLITICAL CONVERSION*.'
Mn Editor,
ALTHOUGH I am no fciterary wri"
ter, yet I ani induced by/ the advice of my
wife, to push rnyfelf upon the notice of the
Public ; thjjt uif you will permit me. My
name is, as you will fee at the bottom, my
occupation, is that of making (liocs, not for
men but for hot'fes. lam vulgaily c.illcd
a P.l ickfinith ; and I have (I believe foo I i ill
iy) laid by uiy fledge, hammer and anvil to
Communicats to you, in my way, my politi
cal conversion. I was originally a Demo
crat, I gave my vote for Tom M'Kean,
partly I.eonfeis frmn motives of felt-iiuer
fft) because Tom folenmly promiftd me the
(hoeing ok his hories ; but whether he has
none to Ihoe, or whether (as is his cultom)
lie has.broken his engagement, I have not
yet discovered. I fay I was a Democrat,
and was fully intent upon voting for Tom
Paine, pshaw, I mean Tom Jeflferfon, at the
next election ; but by the salutary cotinfel
of my t riends, and the excellent advice youi 1
paper has aftorded me, my eyes ha»e bean !
opened, and I have now become, (I hope) a j
good Federalifh Corrupted by the curled ]
columns of the Aurora, deluded by its fair I
and hypocritical alpett, I had become deaf
to all argument, until chance brought your
paper before me, and curioufity prompted
me to peruse its pages. I have been accu
stomed to read the Aurora, (by the advice
ot Duane) every morning to my workmen,
but ever since I saw your paper, I cannot get
through half a paragraph without beinrj al
nioft choked ; whether it is from the smoke
of my furnace, or from the magnitude of
the lie I am about to swallow, I will leave
you to judge.
I had not scarcely finifhed my afternoon's
work the other day, when in pops Mr.
Worthy the fchooltnafter, and having seated
himfclt upon my belief, and inquired kindly
after my family, hp aflced me the news j
I handed .him the morning's Aurora,
and he had lcarcelv lsok;d at it, when
■with a look of honed indignation, he
call the paper in the fere, raid turning to
me laid,-" what have you also degraded your
i'elf so far as to became a fulii'criber for that
infamous and abandoned paper; a paper
conflantly teeming with the gmiltft scurrili
ty agi'nft every good man ; from whofc
fhafes of Malice even Wafliington was not
exempted, and which not yet content, now
seek» to undermine the throne of God him
felf?" I was,at tiiis time in vain endeavour
ing to rescue the paper from tne flames, but
these last words (truck me so forcibly, that
I dropped the tongs, and turning towards
Worthy said " foftly, neighbour, do not be
too impallioned, if it be any crime to l'ub
fcribe for the paper, I am not guilty, for
it is sent to me gratis ; but if I were to
believe what you fay, I am inclined to think,
the very reading of it would be a crime."
" Yes" replied he that man commits a
crime against reason, against truth, a.;ainll
ilecency, and against the religw>n of Gnd,
xvha even perttfei that paper, ©pen your
eyeni neighbour* andiif you do not wifli to
have your morals corrupted, if you do not
wii'h to imbibe the worst of religion's, and
political' principles ceafc reading the Au
rora." Struck with the fokmn manner in
which i*y neighbour pronounced these
words, I eptreaced him to explain to me
i)lor? fully the c.iufe o' this injun&iou ; but
as he was beginning, my wife unfortunately
called me in to supper, and my neighbour
itfufing to partake, departed, informing me
that very i»on he would renew the conver
l'ation and display to my afloniflied yiew
the cursed machinations of the Jacobin
party, and the religious sentiments of their
philosophical leader, who (he fays) thinks
there m ght as well be twenty Gods as one
God. Ail which he has done and that satis- |
fa&orily too ; and hy your lea>)t it fliall !
appear in . fnbftqusnt numbers.

[The folio wiiu; sfnuiing particulars of the
life of the Poet Thomson, wehaveex
tra&edtr«ih the London «' Jjtar," They
are pleafaritly told by one, who seems to
referable Partridge in Tom Jones both in
his profejjmnal and in his chattering ca
pcrfity. 3
Memorandum of Thomson, the Poet, cofteßed
from Mr William Taylor, formerly a bar
ber and Peruke maker. at Richmond, Sur
ty —now hind, September 1791, by the
Earl of Buchan.
j Mr. Taylor, do you remember any
[ thing of Thomson, who lived iu Kcw-lawc
: some years ago i—Thomson.
I Q. Thomfon,the Poet ?—Aye, very well.
; I hike taken him by the uofe many hun.
dred times. I shaved him, I beleive, seven
or eight years, or more ; he had a face as
lorg as a horse ; and he (weat so much, that
I remember, after walking one day in sum
mer, I shaved his head without lather by
his own desire His hair was as foft as a
camel's. I hardly ever felt such ; and yet
it grew so remaikably, that if it was bwt
an inch long, it Hood upright an end from
his head like « brush. [Mr. Robertfon con
firmed this remark J
His person I am told, was large and
clumsy I Yes ; he was pretty corpulent,
and (looped forward rather when he walked,
as though he was full of thought he was
full of thought ; he was very careless and
negligent about his dress, and wore his
clothes remarkably plain—[Mr. Robert
fon,. when I read this to him, said, #• He
was clean and yet ilovenjy, he lloopeu a
good deal.' J
be always wear a wig ? Always
to my m?m ry, and very- extravagant he
wis with them I have fecn 4 dozen at a
time hanging Vip in my matter's (hop, and
all of them so big that nobod' r else could
wear them. I suppose his fvreating to such
a degree made him have so many, for I have
known him spoil a new one only iu walking
from London.
He was a gre«t walker I believe ?
Yes ; he used to walk from Malioch's
lett'sj at Strand on the Grees near Kew
Bridge, and from London, at all hours in
the night : he seldom liked to go in a car
riage, and 1 never /aw hi<n on borfeback.
I believe he was. too fearful to ride [Mr.
Robertfon said, he could not bear to get up
on 3 horse.] .
Q. Had he a Scotch accr'rttf?—Very
broad ; be always called me IVulf.
Did you know any of his relations ?
Yes ; he had two nephews (coullab!!) An
drew and Gilbert Thomson, both garden
ers, wh» much with him, Andrew
used to work in his garden ai.d keep it ii(
order at over hour*; he d:ed at Richmond,
about e even, years ago, ot a cancer in bis
face. Gilbert, his brother, lived at IJaft
Sheen with one Squire Taylor, till he fell
out of a mulberry tree and was k lied.
Thonplon keep much company?
Yes; a good deal of the "writingfort. I
remember Pope, ard Paterfon, and Malloch,
and Lyttleton, and Dr. Arn>ftroug, and
Andrew Miller the bookfcller, who had a
house near Thompson's in Kew-iane, Mr.
Rokertfon could tell you more about them.
Q. Did Pope often visit him ? Very often:
he uled to wear a light coloured great coat,
and commonly kept it on in the house ;
he was a strange ill formed little figure of a
man ; l.ut I have heard him and Quiu aud
Paterfon, talk together so at Thornton's,
that I eou'd have lillened to them for-ever.
Quiu was freijiier.tly there. I fuppole ?
Yes j Mrj. Hobart his housekeeper, often
wilhed Quin dead, he made her master drink
so. I have seen htm and Quin coming from
the Cattle together, at four o'clock in a
morning, and not over sober you may be
fuie. When he was writing in hit own
house he frequently fat with a bowl of punch
before him, and that a good large one too
Q. Did he fit much ui his garden i Yes ;
he had an arbour at the end of it, where
he to wri;e in summer time. I have
known liim lie along by himfclf upon the
grass near it, and talk away as if though
three or four people were along with him.
[This might probably be when he was reci
ting his own compolitions ]
Q_ Did you ever fee any of his writing ?
I was ouce tempted, I remember, to take A
peep ; hi., papers used to lie iu a loose pile
upen the t tble iu his thidy, and I had long
ed for a look at them a good while ; so
one morning, while I was waiting in tUe
room to fiiave b m, and he was lo;,ger;th»n
usual before he'came down I flipped off the
top fiieet of piper and expe&ed to find
ft.metliit,g very curiogs, but I could make
nothing of it. I could not even read it
for the letters looked like all in one.
Q- He was very affable in his manners ?
O yes ! he had 110 pride ; he was very free
in his conveifation and very cheerful* and
one of the best nam red men that ever lived.
4J. He ipldoni was much hurthenr'd with
ca!liNo } to be fjre be was deuced long
winded ; but when he had mt>tiey, he would
fend for his creditors and pay them.ali
round* he has paid my maftev between ;o
und 301. at a time.
CV YOll did nrtt keep a f?ir>p yourfrtlf then
at that gillie? N,o Sir : 1 lived with one
Lander here for 20 years, and it was while
I was prentice andjourneyn:an with him that
1 used to wait on Mr. Thoinion. Lander
i\3ade hi? majors and bg'ns, and a paiTon of
the ai;;n.e of T.iylor, iu Ciaven-ilreet in the
S 1 raiui, made his tie wig 6. And an excel
lent cpftoincr he wits to both.
Did you dress any of hi* vilitors 1

think h? was called. Ht was so fender i
faced I remember, and so dev-.lifh difficult
to (have, that Wone of ih* men in the (hop
dared to venture on him except myfelf. 1
have often taken Quin by the nose tpo,
whi li required some co'irage let me tell you.
One day he sflted particularly if the razor
was in good order, protested he had .as
many barber's eat 8 in his parlor at home, as
any boy had bird's eggs on a thing, and
swore, if I did not /have him fmoothiy. he
would add mine to the number, *' Ah," said
Thonifon, " VVull {haves very well, I
allure you."
You have seen the feafocs, I sup
pose ? —Yes, Sir : and once had a great deal
of them by heart (he here quoted a paflage
from fpring).—-Sheperd' who formlv kept
the Caltl'e inn, shewed me a bock of Thorn
ton's wri.ing' which was about the rebellion
in 1745. ® ft' l to muHc, but I think he
tr ld me not publtlhed. I mentjontd this to
[Mr. Rqbertfon.but he thought Taylor had
made a ftnall mistake, perhaps it might be
some of the patriotic fougs in the Masque
of Alfred ]
The cause of his death ig said to
have b. en taking a boat from Kew to Rich
mond, when he was much heated by walk
i''g ■ —No j I believe he get the better
of that ; but having had a batch ef drink
ing with Quin, he took a quantity of cre
mur tartar, as he frequently did on such oc
cafiont, which with a fever before carried
h-m off. [Mr. Robertfon did not a (Tent to
this.]
He lived I think in Kew Foot-lane ?
—"*» es ; and died there ; at the furthereft
hauf* next Richmond Gardens, now Mr.
Bofcawen's. He lived foirie time before
atafmaller one higher up, inhabited by
Mrs. Davis.
Did you attend on him to the last ?
—sir, i shaved him the very day before his
death ; he was very weak, but made a fliift
to set up in the bed. I afktd him bow he
fount} himfelf th.it morning ? •' Ah,
Wnll," h« replied, " I am very bad in
deed." [Mr. Robertfon told me, he ordered
this operation himfelf, as a reirefliment to
his friend.3
Taylor concluded by giv.ng a hearty
encomium on his character.
This conversation pWe at one of
the alcoves on Richmond Green, where I
accidentally dropped in. I afterfards found
it was a rural rendezvous for a ftt of old in
valids on Nature's infirm lilt, who met there
cVery afternoon in line weather, to recount
and comment 011 the " tales of other times."
I inquired alter Lander, and Mrs. Ho
bai t and Taylor of Cavern ttreet. but found
that unfile of them were fnrviving. Mrs.
Hobait wis thought to have a daughter
married in the town called Egerton ; but
it was not likely from the diltance of time,
that she could irnpait any thing new.
Taylor told me the late Dr. Dodd had
applied to him several years ago for anec
dotes and information relative to Thomfuii.
Piirk, Egerton, the bookseller, jifar White
hall, tells rue, that when Thotpion firlt came
to London, he took ud his abode with his
predecessor Millan, and fmifhed his poem of
Winter in the apartment over the Ihop ;
that Millan punted, it for him, and it re
mained on his (helves a long time unnoticed ;
but alter Thornton began to gain ftnne re
putation as a poet, lie either went himCclt,
or was ta,kea by Mallet, to Millar it) the
Strand, with whom he entered into new en
gagement': for priiuing his works ; which
so much incenlid Millan, his firlt patron,
and his countryman alio, that they never
afterwards were cordially reconciled, altho'
Lord Lyttleton took uncommon pain* to
mediate between them.
