Pit E FACE, 



the accuracy of which I have no doubt 

 may be safely relied on. The third volume 

 remains nearly as it was, with scarcely any 

 alteration : there Is, however, one addition 

 to the Dialogue, of a few hist words, by 

 way of summing up the points of the con- 

 troversy, and likewise an appendix, which, 

 like the note just mentioned, was occasi- 

 oned by some strictures of Mr. Knight's, 

 and almost equals it in length. I am still 

 very largely in his debt, on Mr. Burke's, as 

 well as on my own account ; and am 

 ashamed of being so long in arrears. How- 

 ever slow, I hope at last to leave nothing- 

 unpaid; but as I have undertaken the 

 defence of such a man as Mr. Burke, I 

 feel anxious that it should be as little un- 

 worthy of him, as it is in my power to 

 make it.
