=Transcriber’s Note:= The errata have been corrected, along with a few
other minor printing errors.
If the Reader shall find any mistakes or inaccuracies, which are not
pointed out in the foregoing Errata, the Translator will be much obliged
to him for communicating them to the persons who sell this book; as
the Critical Reviewers from such premises, without assigning any other
reason for their opinion, have taken occasion to be very severe, and the
Translator thinks very unfairly so, on the merit of the translation of
the six Essays, made from the same author, and by the same hand these
are, which were published about six months ago; and an editor of a
monthly publication, intituled, The Town and Country Magazine, who is
pretty well known to be the echo of the Critical Review in these matters,
has, after their example, thought fit, in a very laconic dogmatical
way, to pronounce that it is a very indifferent translation from a very
excellent work. But notwithstanding the arbitrary manner in which these
people have taken upon them to pronounce this damning sentence, the
translator has been told, they understand very little, if any thing at
all, of the language from whence the translation was made.
_N.B._ The above requisition having been annexed to this volume when
it was published singly, immediately after six of the Essays in the
foregoing volumes which were published by themselves had made their
appearance; and which were the object of the above criticism; the
Translator has thought it right to let it remain where it is; that
the world may be apprized of the candour and impartiality of those
Publications, the Critical Review, and Town and Country Magazine; and to
judge how far they may be relied on as faithful reporters, and competent
judges of the merit of works, on which, they take upon themselves to
pronounce absolute and arbitrary sentences of condemnation.
