BY

JOHN WATKINS, LL.D.

Tanta est rerum discordia in ævo,

Et sub texta malis bona sunt, lacrymæque; sequuntur,
Vota, nec in cunctis servat fortuna tenorem,

Usque adeò permixta fluit, nec permanet unquam,
Amisitque, fidem variando cuncta per omnes.

THE PUBLISHER much regrets being under the necessity of deferring for a short time the publication of the Second and concluding Part of these Memoirs, principally in order that the Engraver may be enabled to do full justice to the Portrait of the present MRS. SHERIDAN, which is designed to accompany it.
