Friendship in death: in twenty letters from the dead to the living. To which are added, letters moral and entertaining, in prose and verse. In three parts. By the same author. The celebrated Dr. Watt's, in his Preface to his last Book, entitled, Reliquiae Juveniles, &c. expresses his Approbation of these Letters, in the following Words, viz. Could I imitate (says the Doctor), those admirable Representations of Human Nature, and Passion, which that ingenious Pen has given us, who wrote the last Volumes of Friendship in Death, and Letters Moral and Entertaining, I might then hope for happier Success in my Endeavours in providing Innocent and Improving Diversions for Polite Youth.
