POSTSCRIPT. 
The incident of the Negro Song, related in the 15th Chapter 
of this work (p. 198), having been communicated to a Lady, 
who is not more distinguished for her rank, than for her beauty 
and accomplishments ; she was pleased to think so highly of 
this simple and unpremeditated effusion, as to make a version 
of it with her own pen ; and cause it to be set to music by an 
eminent Composer. With this elegant production, in both 
parts of which the plaintive simplicity of the original is pre- 
served and improved, the Author thinks himself highly honoured 
in being permitted to adorn his book ; and he laments only 
that he had not an opportunity of inserting it in its proper 
place in the body of the work.
