I wish no other herald,
“No other speaker of my living actions,
“To keep mine honour from corruption, .
" But such an honest chronicler."

Hen. VIII. Act 4, Sc. 2.
“ Hic nigræ succus loliginis; hæc est
“ Ærugo mera ; quod vitium procul afore chartis,
“ Atque animo prius, ut si quid promittere de me
“ Possum aliud vere promitto."

ADVERTISEMENT.

IN presenting to the Public a fifth Volume in
continuation of a favourite popular Work, no other
Preface is necessary, than for the Editors to state,
that the flattering Patronage which they have re-
ceived, has stimulated them to continue the same de-
gree of exertion as heretofore; and they hope, there-
fore, that this Volume will prove no less worthy of
public approbation than the former Volumes.

The communication of authentic Memoirs for fu-
ture Volumes, and notices of omissions or errors in
the past, are earnestly solicited.
