capitals, which appear
frequently in the 1717 version, are reduced to lower-case letters; a few
very slight typographical errors have been silently corrected. On page
40, line 1, _thoroughly_ reads _throughly_ in the original; and the
three lines of Greek on p. 70, somewhat garbled in the original, are
given in corrected form.

_THE AUGUSTAN REPRINT SOCIETY_ MAKES AVAILABLE _Inexpensive Reprints
of Rare Materials_ FROM ENGLISH LITERATURE OF THE SEVENTEENTH AND
EIGHTEENTH CENTURIES

Students, scholars, and bibliographers of literature, history,
and philology will find the publications valuable. _The
Johnsonian News Letter_ has said of them: "Excellent facsimiles,
and cheap in price, these represent the triumph of modern
scientific reproduction. Be sure to become a subscriber; and
take it upon yourself to see that your college library is on the
mailing list."

The Augustan Reprint Society is a non-profit, scholarly
organization, run without overhead expense. By careful
management it is able to offer at least six publications each
year at the unusually low membership fee of $2.50 per year in
the United States and Canada, and $2.75 in Great Britain and the
continent.

Libraries as well as individuals are eligible for membership.
Since the publications are issued without profit, however, no
discount can be allowed to libraries, agents, or booksellers.

New members may still obtain a complete run of the first year's
publications for $2.50, the annual membership fee.

During the first two years the publications are issued in three
series: I. Essays on Wit; II. Essays on Poetry and Language; and
III. Essays on the Stage.
