ble productions as soon as I received them : they were very acceptable to me in themselves , and as marks of your very obliging attention . I am glad that Dr . Priestley has replied to Mr . Evanson's Dissonances . Much more remains to be said in a full
confutation ; but it appeared to me , that the objections had been all solved by the best Expositors and Harmonists . In the course of next summer , God willing , I shall send to
Mr . Johnson ari improved copy of my Observations , &c . to be printed in octavo . I shall also furnish indexes of texts explained , and of other articles ; and print the additions in quarto , for the possessors of the book in that form .

Dr . Priestley sent me , as a parting mark of attention , his last volume of sermons on the Evidences of Revelation . They are written with his usual perspicuity , and abound with solid and excellent remarks , but at the same time bear evident traces of too rapid and careless a manner for the public eye . The Duke of Graftoil was so very condescending as to acknowledge my humble present . His Grace ' s design witht respect to Griesbach ' s New Testament must be applauded by
