CAVILER, n. A critic of our own work.

And a caviller might raise all the same objections to the Copernican system, which you have urged against my reasonings.

For my temptation to think it a right, I refer every caviller to a brick house, sashed windows below, and casements above, in Highbury.

Caseous may bethink himself a thought of a caviller but Burrus has the reachly roundered head that goes best with thofthinking defensive fideism.

"No science affords more scope or easier ground for the caviller and controversialist; and these do good by preventing scholars from giving more force to generalisations than the master propounding them does, or meant his readers or hearers to give."

Here, on the contrary, I had to do with a caviller who, substituting cunning to knowledge, would spread for me a hundred snares before I could perceive one of them, and was resolutely determined to catch me in an error let the consequence be what it would.
