Advertisement.

HE Favour with which the Public have been pleafed to receive this Edition of Hudibras, has engaged the Editor (in Gratitude, to make it as perfect as is in his Power, by Jubjoining fuch Supplementary Notes as have fince occurred from a careful Revifal of the whole.

I must here, likewife, acknowledge the great Obligations I am under to the late learned, and ingenious Mr. Montagu Bacon, for the following Differtation upon Burlefque Poetry, and feveral Notes, which I have pointed out by the initial Letters of his two Names.

The Notes and Differtation are both fo good in their Kind, that, I am in hopes, the most opinionated, and felf-conceited Pretender to Criticifm, will find little Room for Cavil.

As to thofe little, infignificant Declaimers, who dare not look a Man in the Face, and yet affume the Liberty of falfely afperfing him behind his Back; I really look upon them as Objects of Pity, and Compaffion.
