And now, having gone through Mr. Prior's volumes, as
I hope for the last time, I shall content myself with this
further remark, that I ground nay claim to whatever merit
my own volumes may possess, on the completeness of their
contrast to his, and on the conviction that no two books so
utterly unlike each other were ever before written on the
same subject. !For a help to the reader's judgment in one
direction only, I subjoin a mention of those pages in my
volumes which contain facts, anecdotes, or personal traits
exclusively relating to Goldsmith himself, here included
for the first time in any Life of him j and I have placed
an asterisk before the new facts or characteristics so affect-
ing him personally, added to the present edition. Were I
to attempt so to distinguish tho new matter introduced
having relation to the time, and filling up the picture I
seek to present of Goldsmith's associates and friends, it
would involve a specification of almost every page.

In tho first volume, 14, *39, *53-64, *C1, 68, 82,
