The Chronicle of 



Hawkins' Fifth 

 and Sixth Edi- 

 tions, 1792 1 and 

 1797.2 



Recovering from this digreflion, we find Mr. John Sidney 

 Hawkins {landing in his father's lhoes, and prefenting us, in 

 1792 and 1797, with two further editions of our favourite 

 book. In the former he calls attention to certain Cf corrections 

 and additions of the laft editor found in the margin of his copy 

 of the fourth edition, which, though not many, have been all 

 made ufe of on this occafion, from a wifh that the book might 

 receive the advantage of his laft corrections. I have in no 

 other refpect," he adds, fC varied from the laft of the former 

 editions, excepting when it was warranted by fome memoranda 

 of my father's, being wholly unacquainted with the fubject." 



The plates in this reprint are reduced in number, the 

 remainder being worn out; but the book, we are told, is 

 " printed with a better type, and on better paper, than could 

 otherwife have been afforded." 



Thefe latter improvements appeal, we are bound to confefs, 

 more to our faith than our fight.
