ABSTRACT

Tho’ I am very certain of the honour and strict probity of my editor, and believe he employs none, especially in any thing relating to the press, but such whose integrity may be depended upon, yet, I know not how it is, but the title of this work has, by some means or other, taken air, and I perceive has sounded an alarm in the ears of those who blush to be told of what they do not blush to act; for before the rst volume was near half completed several letters from di erent hands were le for me at the Printing-O ce; some of which I think it highly proper to insert, as I have no other way of communicating my sentiments to the authors of them, and shall leave it to the public to judge impartially between us.
