vi ALPHABETICAL LIST OF AUTHORS. was particularly and deeply interested in some one great subject, it was clearly my duty, regardless of the censures of any clique or party or set of men, to let his views upon that subject appear. To have acted otherwise would have been alike cowardly and dishonest; and rather than be guilty of such treachery to any writer, I would that another edition of my work should never see the light. In conclusion, I would only remark that I can wish no greater favor shown to this work than has been extended to its predecessor. Errors in judgment and taste may doubtless be pointed out, and most happy shall I be, before the work is put into a permanent form, to receive, from any quarter, any suggestions that may correct them. But, as I have before said, I have honestly endeavored to do my authors justice; and, having made my book for no classes or sects, for no particular latitudes, and for no special market, but to promote the cause of sound learning and education in harmony with pure Christian morals, the best interests of humanity, and the cause of universal truth, I now commit it to the judgment of Alison, Archibald, Arnold, Thomas, Baillie, Joanna, Barbauld, Anna Lætitia, Barton, Bernard, Beattie, James, Blair, Hugh, Bloomfield, Robert, Bowles, William Lisle, Brougham, Henry (Lord), Brown, Thomas, Browning, Elizabeth Barrett, Brydges, Sir Egerton, Butler, Charles, Byron, George Gordon, Campbell, Thomas, Carpenter, Lant, Carter, Elizabeth, Chalmers, Thomas, Chapone, Hester, Coleridge, Samuel Taylor, Cook, Eliza, Crabbe, George, Cumberland, Richard, Drake, Nathan, Dymond, Jonathan, Elliott, Ebenezer, Erskine, Thomas, Foster, John, Grahame, James, Gurney, Joseph John, Hall, Robert, Hazlitt, William, Heber, Reginald, Hemans, Felicia, - Hood, Thomas, Howitt, Mary, Page 396 Irving, Edward, 420 Jameson, Mrs., 564 Jeffrey, Francis, 178 Knowles, Herbert, 512 Knox, Vicesimus, 43 Lamb, Charles, 36 | Macaulay, Thomas Babington, 152 Mackenzie, Henry, 601 Mackintosh, James, 726 Maclean, Lætitia Elizabeth, 124 Mant, Richard, 666 Milman, Henry Hart, 381 Mitchell, Thomas, 267 Montagu, Elizabeth, 167 Montgomery, James, 449 Moore, Thomas, 410 More, Hannah, 63 Norton, Caroline Elizabeth, 489 Opie, Amelia, 25 Paley, William, 95 Seward, Anna, Page 337 705 531 122 136 342 639 238 284 402 504 634 458 31 584 606 295 657 626 54 200 572 250 80 112 84 507 473 429 89 693 689 17 673 an intelligent public.
