HUDIBRAS, IN THREE PARTS. Written in the Time of maries 8-14-30 22400 2 vol د D L b १ T Advertisement. HE Favour with which the Public have been pleased to receive this Edition of Hudibras, has engaged the Editor (in Gratitude) to make it as perfect as is in his Power, by fubjoining fuch Supplementary Notes as have fince occurred from a careful Revifal of the whole. 0 I must here, likewise, acknowledge the great Obligations I am under to the late learned, and ingenious Mr. Montagu Bacon, for the following Differtation upon Burlesque Poetry, and feveral Notes, which I have pointed out by the initial Letters of his two Names. The Notes and Differtation are both so good in their Kind, that, I am in hopes, the most opinionated, and self-conceited Pretender to Criticism, will find little Room for Cavil. As to those little, infignificant Declaimers, who dare not look a Man in the Face, and yet affume the Liberty of falsely afperfing him behind his Back; I really look upon them as Objects of Pity, and Compassion.
