THIS HIS is to inform the public, that a gentleman of long ftudy, obfervation, and experience, hath employed himfelf for feveral years in making collections of facts relating to the conduct of divines, phyficians, lawyers, foldiers, merchants, traders, and efquires; containing an hiftorical account of the most remarkable corruptions, frauds, oppref fions, knaveries, and perjuries; wherein the names of all the perfons concerned fhall be inferted at full length, with fome account of their families and stations. But, whereas the faid gentleman cannot complete his history without fome affiftance from the public, he humbly defires, that all perfons who have any memoirs, or accounts, relating to themfelves, their families, their friends, or acquaintance, which are well attefted, and fit to enrich the work, will please to fend them to the printer of this advertisement : and if any of the faid perfons, who are difpofed to fend materials, happen to live in the country, it is defired their letters may be either franked, or the poft paid. This collection is to commence with the year 1700, and be continued to the prefent year 1738. The work is to be intitled, "The author's critical history of his own times." It is intend to be printed by fubscription, in a large octavo; each volume to contain five hundred facts, and to be fold for a British crown. The author propofeth that the whole work (which will A a 2. take take in the period of thirty-eight years) fhall be contained in eighteen volumes. Whoever fhall fend the author any accounts of perfons who have performed any acts of juftice. charity, public fpirit, gratitude, fidelity, or the like, attefted by indubitable witneffes within the fame period; the faid facts fhali be printed, by way of appendix, at the end of each volume, and no addition to the price of the work demanded. But left fuch perfons may apprehend, that the relating of these facts may be injurious to their reputations, their names fhall not be fet down without particular direction. N. B. There will be a fmall number printed on royal paper for the curious, at only two British crowns. There will also be the effigies of the most eminent perfons mentioned in this work, prefixed to each volume, curioufly ingraved by Mr. Hogarth. Subscriptions are taken in by the printer hereof, and by the bookfellers of London and Dublin. ៩៤៦ A A character of P-TE MH. M has the reputation of moft prfound and univerfal learning; this is the general opinion, neither can it be easily difproved. An old rusty iron chest in a banker's fhop, ftrongly locked, and wonderful heavy, is full of gold; this is the general opinion, neither can it be difproved, provided the key be loft, and what is in it be wedged fo close that it will not by any motion discover the metal by the chinking. Doing good is his pleafure; and as no man confults another in his pleasures, neither does he in this; by his aukwardnefs and unadvisednefs difappointing his own good defigns. His high ftation hath placed him in the way of great employments; which, without the leaft polishing his native rufticity, have given him a tincture of pride and ambition. But thefe vices would have paffed concealed under his natural fimplicity if he had not endeavoured to hide them by art. His difpofition to ftudy is the very fame with that of an ufurer to hoard up money, or of a vitious young fellow to a wench; nothing but avarice and evil concupifcence, to which his conftitution has fortunately given a more innocent turn. He is fordid and fufpicious in his domeftics, without love or hatred; which is but reasonable, fince he has neither friend nor enemy; without joy or grief; in fhort, vithout all paffions but fear, to which of all others he hath least temptation, having nothing to get or to lofe; no pofterity, relation, or friend, to be folicitous about; and placed by his station above the reach of fortune or envy. He hath found out the fecret of preferring men without deferving their thanks; and where A a 3 |
