within our own knowledge, that a pub- 
lifser in London offered two theufand 
pounds for thefe very papers, with an 
intention to print the work in London, 
and bring it before the public in a regular 
and refpectable manner, in two handfome 
quartos, and in a way worthy of the great

The Life of this illuftrious Citizen necef- 
farily comprifes fo large and interefting a por-
