WITH AN

INTRODUCTORY LETTER

TO THE

RIGHT HONOURABLE EARL COWPER.

BY WILLIAM HAYLEY, ESQR.

"Obversatur oculis ille vir, quo neminem ætas nostra graviorem, sanctiorem, subtiliorem
"denique tulit: quem ego quum ex admiratione diligere cœpissem, quod evenire contra solet,
magis admiratus sum, postquam penitus inspexi. Inspexi enim penitus: nihil a me ille secretum,
non joculare, non serium, non triste, non lætum."
