You will now naturally ask me what the quarrel was:  and that is the most difficult point to tell you; for though the world expects to see some narrative, nothing has yet appeared, nor I believe will, though both sides have threatened.  The Princess says, the Bishop taught the boys nothing; he says, he never was suffered to teach them any thing.  The first occasion of uneasiness was the Bishop’s finding the Prince of Wales reading the Revolutions of England, written by P`ere d’Orl`eans to vindicate James ii. and approved by that Prince.  Stone at first peremptorily denied that he had seen that book these thirty years, and offered to rest his whole justification upon the truth or falsehood of this story.  However, it is now confessed that the Prince was reading that book, but it is qualified with Prince Edward’s borrowing it of Lady Augusta.  Scott, the under-preceptor, put in by Lord Bolingbroke, and of no very orthodox odour, was another complaint.  Cresset, the link of the connexion, has dealt in no very civil epithets, for besides calling Lord Harcourt a groom, he qualified the Bishop with bastard and atheist,’ particularly to one of the Princess’s chaplains, who, begged to be excused from hearing such language against a prelate of the church, and not prevailing, has drawn up a narrative, sent it to the Bishop, and offered to swear to it.  For Lord Harcourt, besides being treated with considerable contempt by the Princess, he is not uninformed of the light in which he was intended to stand, by an amazing piece of imprudence of the last, but not the most inconsiderable performer in this drama, the Solicitor-general, Murray—­pray, what part has his brother, Lord Dunbar, acted in the late squabbles in the Pretender’s family?  Murray, early in the quarrel, went officiously to the Bishop, and told him Mr. Stone ought to have more consideration in the family:  the Bishop was surprised, and got rid of the topic as well as he could.  The visit and opinion were repeated:  the Bishop said, he believed Mr. Stone had all the regard shown him that was due; that lord Harcourt, who was the chief person, was generally present.  Murray interrupted him, “Pho!  Lord Harcourt! he is a cipher, and must be a cipher, and was put in to be a cipher.”  Do you think after this declaration, that the employment will be very agreeable?  Every body but Lord Harcourt understood it before; but at least the cipher -ism was not notified in form.  Lord Lincoln, the intimate friend of that lord, was so friendly to turn his back upon him as he came out of the closet—­and yet Lord Harcourt and the Bishop have not at all lessened their characters by any part of their behaviour in this transaction.  What will astonish you, is the universal aversion that has broke out against Stone:  and what heightens the disgusts, is, the intention there has been of making Dr. Johnson, the new Bishop of Gloucester, preceptor.  He was master of Westminster School, of Stone’s and
