which they are here placed. The last part, from the middle of the page
71, had been printed as a part of the Letter which was originally intended to be the third on Regicide Peace, as in the preface to the fourth volume has already been noticed. It was thought proper to communicate this Letter before its publication to Lord Auckland, the author of the pamphlet so frequently alluded to in it. His Lordship, in consequence of this communication, was pleased to put into my hands a letter with which he had sent his pamphlet to Mr. Burke at the time of its publication, and Mr. Burke's answer to that letter. These pieces, together with the note with which his Lordship transmitted them to me, are prefixed to the Letter on Regicide Peace. II. Letter to the Empress of Russia. III. Letter to Sir Charles Bingham. IV. Letter to the Honorable Charles James Fox. Of these Letters it will be sufficient to remark, that they come under the second of those classes into which, as I before observed, we divided the papers that presented themselves to our consideration. V. Letter to the Marquis of Rockingham. VI. An Address to the King. VII. An Address to the British Colonists in North America. These pieces relate to a most important period in the present reign; and I hope no apology will be necessary for giving them to the public. VIII. Letter to the Right Honorable Edmund [Sexton] Pery. IX. Letter to Thomas Burgh, Esq. |
