James Hogg : The Spy
'Some of the fine madams pointed out to him [Mr Sym] a few inadvertencies [in Hogg's "The Spy"], or, more properly, absurdities, which had occurred in the papers; but he replied, "O, I don't deny that; but I like them the better for these, as they shew me at once the character of the writer. I believe him to be a very great blockhead; still I maintain, that there is some smeddum in him".'
