By WA LTEk SCO fr, Esq.
It ii a CiffUT,LifiCe, neither how...table to our taste, nor to
oar nat.oital feeling, that an hundred yea's have elapsed since
the death of Dryden (one of the rested names in English
Poetry) without having furnished a complete Edition or los
%%forks; in the colter part tif the la.t Century, it iv possible
thm the general and unbounded wimir.tion of Pope, anti of
the School of Poetry which he founded, diverted the public at.
tremors from a Writer inferior in taste, though eteelting him
in genius; deficient in correctness, though far superior in c iergy
of thought and diction. But, as it is long since the public
have looked bock with a favourable eye on the works of the
ancient and powerful Poets of the 17111 Century, it i. prianined
that a COMPLETE t.Dirium of DRYDk:N'S
comoreheisdnig his Original Works of
o to be cousi'lered as filling up a disgriceftal blank in the lite•
rogue* of England.
IS. Teat of the Inte ided Publication shall be gisen at-

Hi WILLIAM RELSHAM, Esq.
In•lepittidentle of the aeknowleeleed merit of Mr. R ,Isham's
as a Work ammo atonable ltdelity, it ellinis especial
..... ice of the public, as being the only I listory of E•ogland by
a single writer, which continues the History of Mr. Fiume,
with uniform spirit and 'batty, to the present firm.
Vart•oos 11.1.16 Men the espoliesits to complete the• series of
our National I I•storr ; Smollett's seismal work has born
garbled and mutilated, with a view to supply a continuation
of Hume, to the death of Omura the Second, but the par-
tiality old &refit of Smorflett,as an Historian, have lone been a
just subject of c.implaint, and such a work as Mr. ■e'shane's
h.s, fur many years, been aiming the principal literary de-
siderata.
Petunia, however, who are actually prsg•sesl both of Home
and Sototlett, may purrhase, separately, Mr ibeloham's History
of the Ringo of Gong* the Third, in Eight viriumes, and thus
cnrry:iste their series to the Peace ..f Amiens; or, tome who
a.e postmen of Mr. Ruin's History omit, may, by the pur.
chaos. of Mr. Relsham's entire Work, complete an unnter-
rutitesl sod uniform seines of our History, from the earliest
records to the present time.
