17442.16.3 HARVARD COLLEGE LIBRARY FROM THE LIBRARY OF F 203161 CHARLES WHITTINGHAM CHISWICK PREFACE. FOUR early Letters from Akenside to Mr. Dyson are for the first time printed in the following Memoir. They are very characteristic of the writer, and valuable as correcting some erroneous statements of his biographers. For transcripts of these interesting papers, and for several other less important communications, I am indebted to the kindness of J. Dyson, Esq., of Newgrove, Petworth, the son of Akenside's excellent friend and patron. Every poem which could be traced to the author's pen has been inserted in the present volume. London, Dec. 1834.
