EDITIO N.

The former Editions of this felection have been introduced into feveral of the most reputable Schools, for both Sexes, in the Kingdom; however, the Price of the two Volumes (viz. Five Shillings) has been, by fome, thought too much, the whole is therefore now brought into one Volume, under one Alphabet, and the Price reduced to Three Shillings and Sixpence; and, in order to render it still more complete, the Editor has felected from Mrs. Piozzi's, and Mr. Boswell's late Publications, together with many authentic documents, a confiderable number of Biographical and other Anecdotes, including a felection of his Bon Mots. Likewife a Copy of his Will, and the Sermon which he wrote for the unfortunate Dr. Dodd, who preached it to his Fellow Convicts, in the Chapel of Newgate, a few days before he fuffered.

November 6, 1786.
