I THINK the following pieces in * four volumes to be the most excuseable of all that I have formerly written; and I wish less apology was needful for these. As there is no recalling what is got abroad, the pieces here republished I have revised and corrected, and rendered them as pardonable, as it was in my power

to do.

* The first edition was in four volumes, but is now comprized in three.
