A, Vol. 1: Vicar of Cranbrook in the Diocese of Cantebury Considerable delay has occurred in the publication of this Volume, from accidental circumstances. Owing to the difficulty of obtaining a copy of the Second Edition, (which came out in 1724, in the Author's life-time, and which is now become extremely rare, ) it was found necessary to begin working with the First Edition, (that of 17 145) and the Volume had been completely prepared for the press as early as July last, before a copy of the Second Edition was oh tained which, of course, involved a thorough examination de novo. For the loan of that copy, the' Committee is in debted to the courtesy, of the Rev. C. L; Cornish, m.a. Of Exeter College. All the passages, inserted hy.the Author in this Second Edition, _ha've been distinguished'in the pre sent by being inclosed in brackets; only it must be oh served, that where instances occur of single words brack etted, they have been put in by the Editor on his own responsibility and he trusts that it will clearly appear from the context, that in the very few instances of their oc currence such a course was necessary. There are several passages in the text of the First Edition, which the Author has entirely omitted in the Second these it has been thought advisable to retain in the present Edition in the shape of notes. The reader will thence have an opportunity of dis criminating the shades of theological difference (if any such really exist to which Johnson' s mind was subject m a decade of years and the Editor is thereby spared the invidious task of assuming their-arbitration. A few sentences only have been entirely omitted, which the Author has withdrawn in his Second Edition, and wherein he had been betrayed, by the heat of controversy, into an undue asperity of expression.
