John Ebers, publisher, and at that time manager of the Opera House, by whom he was introduced to literary and dramatic circles, and whose daughter he afterwards married.
He was an honourable and amiable man, one of the very few who seems to have retained the sincere regard of Swift, whose style he made the model of his own, with such success that writings by the one were sometimes attributed to the other: his Art of Political Lying is an example.
He was a man of the highest character, honest, courageous, and clear-sighted, and, though regarded by some professional scientists as to a certain extent an amateur, his ability, knowledge, and dialectic power made him a formidable antagonist, and enabled him to exercise a useful, generally conservative, influence on scientific thought and progress.

In answer to it, Asgill replied that neither silks nor calicoes were "staple commodities," that calicoes competed with silks rather than with woolens, and that there was therefore as strong a case for restriction of the silk as of the calico industry.—Asgill, A brief answer to a brief state of the question, 1719.
