עמוד xxvi - Whether Mr. Addifon did find it conformable to his tafte, or not, beft appears from his own teftimony the year following its publication, in thefe words : Mr.
עמוד 296 - ... would not find their account in employing them, or the men themfelves, when difcovered, want courage to proceed in fo unlawful an occupation.
