*This tale is far from being clearly told. Perhaps for editor, in Mr. Walpole's account of the tranfaction, we should read bookseller. The matter is, indeed, of little moment, the chief object being the authenticity of Lady M. W. Montague's letters, which Mr. Gordon's ftory confirms. Several other epiftles concerning the Walpoliana are omitted, as proceeding on mere mifapprehenfion, or difference of opinion. INDE X.
