ADVERTISEMENT.

An unjust insinuation against the Au2 thor's loyalty, and an illiberal attack upon his Orthodoxy, first suggested the idea of commiting the following pages to public inspection, and public candour. They are respectfully Dedicated to the LOYAL SOUTHWARK VOLUNTEERS, as a testimony of his gratitude for the very flattering attention with which they honored the delivery, and for the unexpected and liberal acknowledgments, they have conferred upon him.
