10. Thomas Ritchie, An Account of the Life and Writings of David Hume, Esq. (London, 1807), 29, offers the following analysis: "Kenrick's Review was held to be rather an illiberal production, and not over-nice as to the correctness of its assertions. It is now impossible to ascertain, whether this anecdote be true or false."

If I had leizure, I should certainly comply with his Request: He only disobliges me in mentioning any other Acknowledgment, than his being sensible of my Inclination to oblige him" (Greig, Letters, I, 336).
