Preface to flje Second (Station, 



Messrs. Levey, Robson, and Franklyn. 



GENTLEMEN, 



I regret that I have not furnished you 

 before with the enclosed additional papers, and can 

 plead no other excuse than the usual ones, of nu- 

 merous engagements, absence from home, &c. It 

 gratifies me to learn that the first edition was so 

 soon disposed of, and that it has been long out of 

 print, and so often asked for. I cannot pretend to 

 offer any judgment upon what had better be expunged 

 from the first impression ; but the whole thing is in 

 your hands, for you to deal with as your judgment 

 may dictate. If you think any portion of the new 

 matter unsuitable, I beg its rejection, and if needful 

 I will send other extracts from Gregory's papers to 

 replace it. 



Yours faithfully, 



THE SQUIRE'S SON.
