as to give the years of _birth_ of Merrick, the poet and versifier of the
Psalms, and of his biographer, Tattersall. The years of their _deaths_ are
given respectively 1769 {61} and 1829: but I can nowhere find when they

on Men and Manners, written by himself._ Bath. Printed and published by
John Browne, George Street, 1806. This Part is a 4to. of 200 pages, and is

my searches after books, I never met but with this copy.

intended to publish in the form of a Dictionary (and of which he gives a

is ready for the press; or that he would treat with any party disposed to
buy the copyright?
