AND now, courteous readers, I must acquaint you, that our fociety had an intention to conclude our lucubrations with this book; nor would the repeated inftances of many fubfcribers to this undertaking have prevailed with us to continue it; because, though we acknowledge the obligations we have to their good-nature, we knew not how far it might biafs them to mistake their private opinion for that of the town in general, and we were unwilling to be thought too tedious by any. THAT we have chang'd our minds, and continue the spectatorial function yet a little longer, is owing to fome hints we have lately received from perfons of the moft diftinguish'd capacities, on fubjects univerfally interefting, and which we have not yet touch'd upon, who affure us, they would tranfmit their fentiments to the world by no other canal. THERE is alfo juft come to hand a fecond letter from Philo-Natura; and another from the ingenious Eumenes, with fome further account of the Toply Turvy ifland, both which gentlemen have already given fuch proofs of their abilities, that it would be the greatest injuftice to the public to ftife what they have been fo good to permit should be communicated. THE prefent, which one who figns himself Philoclites has made us, of A Mirror of true Beauty, deferves our acknowledgments; and he may affure himself we fhall not fail to fet it before the ladies the very firft opportunity, and in fpite of all the follies of the times, hope that there are ftill a great many will fee themselves in it with pleasure.
