P R E F A C E. TH HIS octavo volume is a faithful tran script of the three volumes of the Speeches of Mr. Wilkes, which I formerly printed in duodecimo, with the addition of several Speeches, since the period of the last publication, drawn from the same sources, 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 mattery and on a greater variety of interesting subjects. I have not given řany additional Notes; but they will; Thợpe, he found useful and explanatory. THE EDITOR, London, Dec. 9, 1786. |
