JOHN LEWIS’S TESTIMONY.
more than nine-pence each; so that from hence it is easy to
imagine how cheap the whole will be, especially when printed
in such a grand and pompous manner at so low a price. But
it is the generous author’s absolute command that it should
be so, who, it is plain, wants neither purse nor spirit to carry
on his laudable undertaking.
As the copy comes from a foreign country, and as one
number may contain nearly double the quantity of another, it
is utterly impossible to fix a certain regular time for the
publication of each. But this the public may be assured of, that
when a fresh number is published, it shall be advertised in
the newspapers. Those who are pleased to give their orders
to the news-carriers, will have every number as certainly as
though they were apprised of the certain time of its coming
out. And the price will be printed on the title of each Eng
lish number, (and every Latin number will be of the same
price with the English,) so that the readers may be sure that
they will not be imposed upon ; for sometimes the bulk of the
book will plainly appear to be worth five times as much as
will be required for it.
Those who are so happy as to be well acquainted with
the Latin tongue, will be highly delighted with the author’s
elegant and sublime language.
B.
MR. JOHN LEWIS TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY ADVERTISER.*

Yours, & c.,
