Stockdale having alfo intimated that great partiality had been shown in this publi cation, and that injuftice had been thereby done to several very valuable productions, particularly to Mr. Stockdale's editions of the following efteemed works, which had efcaped our notice entirely, viz. La Péroufe's Voyage round the World. Tranflated from the French. To which are annexed, Travels of De Leffeps over the Ruffian Continent, with the Dispatches of La Péroufe. 2 large vols. Svo.

By Dr. Hunter, is alfo a matter of complaint, inafmuch as, though it was epitomifed foon after its appearance, yet we gave great but unintentional offence in inferting extracts from another edition, at the fame time, from theets furnished three months before fuch, edition was ready for publication. Thefe omiffions having given Mr. Stockdale fuch apparently just reafons for difpleafure, we take this opportunity of expreffing our fincere concern that any thing fhould have occurred in this publication which might be even conftrued into in attention towards a publifler of Mr. Stockdale's refpectability.
