TH

My LORD,
HE very favorable opinion that

your Grace was pleased to express of the first part of this work, encourages me to set forth this last under your patronage and protection. This last is the most difficult, but yet it has been to me the most entertaining part of all. How it may approve itself to your Grace and others, I cannot pretend to say : but having been perused by the fame three eminently learned persons as the former volumes, it

may

be

presumed on that account to be less unfit

for

for me to offer, and for Your Grace to receive.

At the same time it affords me an additional pleasure in giving me an opportunity of acknowleging publicly my obligations to your Grace for favors great in themselves, but made much greater by your handsome manner of conferring them, unsollicited, unasked, unexpected. I will not say undeserved, because that would be calling Your Grace's judgment in question ; but I will endevor to deserve them: and indeed I should think any preferment ill bestowed upon me, that did not incite and animate me more to prosecute my studies, and thereby to prove myself more worthy of Your GRACE's favor and kindness to,

My LORD,
Your GRACE's ever obliged

and dutiful bumble servant, Nov, 3. 1758.
