The demand was complied with; but i did not receive them till the 12th of July, 1838. At that time I had been honoured by Mr. Clarkson with the commission to publish the " Strictures," and with permission to add what I pleased. I was much occupied when they reached me, having the double task of correcting the press of Mr. Clarkson's text, and supplying my own.
