will estimate their forbearance in not precipitately hurrying on
the Work, though other Editions professing the same object
have been hastily brought out, merely to secure immediate sale.
The temporary inconvenience of a few weeks' delay becomes
immatei ial in comparison with the ultimate advantage—the
diligent -finish And completeness they are anxious to give to
their edition of Cowper.

engraved Frontispiece; an exquisite Vignette View of Hunt-
