Excerpt from The Red Book of the Exchequer: A Reply to Mr. J. H. Round In the first place it seems to be of much importance to ascertain whether, apart from those offences against good taste which are inseparable from such productions, Mr. Round's attack may be regarded as legitimate criticism or as the expression of private malice.

And the writer adds It is simply because I felt it my duty, as possessing the special knowledge required, to undertake this thankless task that I now publish these studies.' Unfortunately it can be shown that there is no real zeal for the public welfare underlying Mr. Round's criticism of my work, but that it is throughout actuated by private malice. It will also appear from the facts which I am about to relate, that Mr. Round has sought to wreak his malice by means which I will not attempt to characterise.
