Plymouth Dock , Feb . 6 , 1815 . Sir , BEING a warm admirer of the late venerable Dr . Priestley ' s talents and virtues , nothing has afforded me so . much pleasure this great while as an intimation given in one of the notes annexed to the memoir
of this excellent man in the last number of your improved Repository , —* that " a plan is now in contemplation , for publishing by subscription , the whole of his works , except the scientific / ' I shall look forward with earnest solicitude to the period when it
shall be brought to maturity . As we have uniform editions of the works of a Bacon , a Boyle , a Newton , a Locke and a Lardner , I have long wondered that the works of a Priestley , ( who was very little , if any thing , inferior to these glorious luminaries of our
island , ) have been suffered to remain in their original unconnected state . The measure under consideration , if carried into execution , will do lasting credit to the promoters of it , will be hailed with sincere pleasure by the * Doctor ' s numerous and increasing
friends , and will be a noble monument of the industry , profundity and piety of his genius . I consider it perfectly right to print an edition independent of his scientific works ; but I humbly submit the propriety of printing the whole of these also , if subscribers enough can be procured to
cover the expense , immediately after the completion of the former part ; and as many persons who dislike the Doctor as a theologian , highly value him as a philosopher , his scientific works , though printed uniformly , should be complete , and at liberty to be purchased alone .
The first volume , in my opinion , should contain the memoir written by himself and continued by his son 5 and I should be happy to seethe latter period of his life , from the time of his settling near Birmingham , more fully elucidated . There are , no doubt many of the Doctor ' private letters
in the hands of his friends ; and as those submitted to the public by Mr . Belstiam , in his excellent Life of his pious friend , Mr . Cindsey , are very interesting , a judicious selection incorporated into the present woBt would prove a treat highly accepta- ^ We . I beg . further to suggest the utifa ity of subjoining notes to such pas-
