Sir , Frome , July 20 , 1780 . THE second part of the Letters were printed before I received your poem , in which were expressed all the beauties of a tender and virtuous passion . I sent it to a person of the first distinction for quality and wit , who was concerned in the last part
of the Letters \ -who very justly admires the elegant and natural sorrow that appears in all your descriptions : but whether any more of those kind of epistles will be published , is not yet deterpmined . I am , Sir , Your obliged , hutnble Servant , ELIZ . ROWE . Tq Mr . Thomas Hirch , in St . John ' s hane , Clerhenwelh London *

No . 4 . Mr * Bernard to Mr . Birch . Hampstead , Rev . Sib , August J 4 , 1734 .
I AM very much of your opinion , not to swell the letter A , and for that reason I have suppressed , in this and the three former Numbers , several articles which together would have made ten or twelve sheets , the materials of which were ready , some even transcribed , but 1 find the taste of
the public so various , that I do not knqw what is best . Some are for English articles , others say these articles being easily found , and for the most part in English , we ought to confine ourselves to the foreign as being less known . Of these again
some would have us speak only of the moderns , because they have re ^ d themselves the ancient , or thinH they know enough of them ; others who have a particular taste for Gf ^ eek and Latin would have us write only the lives of the ancients , ancj despise the moderns , as not worthy to be compared to them .
These several opinions have been represented to me some days ago . What can we do to please such different palates ? For my part , I think then lately published , 8 vx > . price 6 d . Winston ' s Mem . 1753 , Ed . 2 , p , 280 . For taking the affirmative on this education , Wkiston was unjustly classed with Woolstorij in an epigram at the close of the third volume of Moyle ' s Works , 1737 . * The first vohinie of the Gen . Diet . which appeared in 1734 was dedicated to the President , S ^ c . of the Rajr al Society
