Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life of the Right Honourable Sir John Eardley Wilmot, Knt; Late Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, and One of His Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council: With Some Original Leeters The former edition of these Memoirs in quarto being sold, and it being thought that a smaller and more portable edition would be useful, an Opportunity is taken to make some additions both to the Text, to the Notes, and by way of Appeti dix. Little more, however, is done than to add what was before curtailed. An apology must like wise be made for some of the Letters, which may appear trivial; but as they introduce the subject of others, which relate to the important subject.
