ADDITIONAL NOTES AND OOEEBCTIONS, (YOL. I.)

Fleming accounts printed in those pages, and for some errors of transcription corrected
by comparison with the original M'SS, see pp. 104-107, of my second volume.
Besides the general receipt, quoted at the bottom of page 824, I may add that tho
caxitious Mr. Newbery seems to havo required specific acknowledgments in addition.
Thus on one sheet, among the papcru in Mr. Murray's possession, I find the following :
"October 11, 1768. Iteceivd of Mr. John Newtay eleven guineas in full for
" writing the introduction and preface to Dr. Brooke's Natural History. 'OwvMtt (iowi-
"SMITH."—"Oct. 11, 17(18. Eeeeivd of Mr. John Newbory throe guineas for a
"Preface to the History of the World. OMVMBQoM>HMmt."~"--"Oftt. 11,176.'!. lUscuivtl

" SMIKI."'—At the top of another large sheet is'(Mdnmith'H promissory note "on
" demand" for the balance named at p, 328. I porooive, too, that Newbery had a con-
siderable share in a newspaper at Heading (hiu native place), and that (lolduntith's
compilation about "the late war" (p. 824) bad been printed in tliia paper from, weuk
