Findley, William—continued.<br />

count was not in all particulars correct, so his contemporaries said,<br />

and he himself afterwards acknowledged that in some matters he had<br />

been misinformed, and in others he had relied on vague reports...<br />

There was only one edition of the 'History' printed, and copies are<br />

now scarce... All of his adversaries. . .admit that in the statement of<br />

facts he would not knowingly deviate from truth, but they assert that his<br />

prejudices were strong, and that his personal enmity biased his judgment.<br />

Findley and Brackenridge were very bitterly opposed to each<br />

other. In the matter of substantial gain and advantage, Findley<br />

probably had the best of Brackenridge; but now that they and their<br />

generation have passed, Brackenridge still gets the ear of the people<br />

in his inimitable satire in which Findley is caricatured." Albert's<br />
