PREFACE. THIS octavo volume is a faithful tranfcript of the three volumes of the Speeches of Mr. Wilkes, which I formerly printed in duodecimo, with the addition of feveral Speeches, fince the period of the last publication, drawn from the fame fources, with equal diligence and attention. The two prior volumes, with the Notes, make the 176 first pages of this volume, and the third continues to page 296. The rest is new matter, and on a greater variety of interefting fubjects. I have not given many additional Notes; but they will hope, he found useful and explanatory. London, Dec. 9, 1786. THE EDITOR. a 3 ADVER |
