ABSTRACT

In which the consequences of Cleora’s elopement, in relation both to herself and

husband, are fully shewn, and an end put to that suspence which it is highly probable the former pages may have excited in the mind of every interested and curious reader. 150

CHAP. VI. Treats of divers and sundry matters, some of which the Invisible Author atters

himself will be very agreeable to the greatest part of the readers; but if, contrary to his expectations, they should happen to be found otherwise, he hopes at least they will be excused on account of others, both past and to come, more entertaining and suitable to his taste. 157

CHAP. VII. Presents the reader with a full view of the beautiful and much celebrated

Sabina, in an impartial description of her person and character, with some particulars in relation to her two amours, and the consequences which attended this last assignation made with her favourite Youngly. 164

CHAP. VIII. Contains the catastrophe of an adventure, which the Author thinks t to declare

is inserted in these lucubrations, less to amuse his readers than for the sake of setting in a true light those facts, which some people have artfully endeavoured to misrepresent to the public. 170

BOOK IV. CHAP. I. In which the Author confesses having been guilty of petty larceny; but hopes

that the fact is of such a nature as will not come under the cognizance of the law; and also that it merits forgiveness om those into whose hands this work may fall, as the chief motive for committing it was to oblige the public. 175

CHAP. II. If there can be any reader, in this very pious and religious age, that may happen

to have too tender and scrupulous a conscience to bene t himself by the receipt of stolen goods, the Author thinks it highly necessary to give him this timely notice, that it will be best for his peace of mind to avoid looking into this or some of the succeeding chapters. 179
