Y

MY LORD,

TH

OF.

OR K:

(DR. GILBERT.)

HE very favorable opinion that your GRACE was pleafed to exprefs of the first part of this work, encourages me to fet forth this laft under your patronage and protection. This laft is the most difficult, but yet it has been to me the most entertaining part of all. How it may approve itself to your GRACE and others, I cannot pretend to fay but having been perused by the fame three eminently learned perfons as the former volumes, it may be prefumed on that account to be lefs unfit for me to offer, and for Your GRACE to receive.

[blocks in formation]

At the fame time it affords me an additional pleasure in giving me an opportunity of acknowleging publicly my obligations to your GRACE for favors great in themselves, but made much greater by your handsome manner of conferring them, unfollicited, unafked, unexpected. I will not fay undeserved, because that would be calling Your GRACE's judgment in question; but I will endevor to deferve them: and indeed I fhould think any preferment ill bestowed upon me, that did not incite and animate me more to profecute my ftudies, and thereby to prove myself more worthy of Your GRACE's favor and kindness to,

My LORD,

Your GRACE's ever obliged

and dutiful bumble fervant,

Nov. 3, 1758.

THOMAS NEWTON.
