And had we a Set of such Pastorals as these, I am satisfied they would take extreamly. More Cubbin, perhaps than yours ever will; because perfect Pastories are directed only to Persons of Reading and Judgment. But you cannot I suppose satisfie your own Mind, unless you write up to what you judge the Standard of Perfection in every sort of Writing. _FINIS_. _Notes on the Text_. It was impractical to issue Purney's _Enquiry_ in facsimile because of the blurred condition of the photostats. This reprint follows the original text faithfully, with the following exceptions: the long "s" and the double "v" are modernized; small capitals, which appear frequently in the 1717 version, are reduced to lower-case letters; a few very slight typographical errors have been silently corrected. On page 40, line 1, _thoroughly_ reads _throughly_ in the original; and the three lines of Greek on p. 70, somewhat garbled in the original, are given in corrected form. ANNOUNCING THE Publications OF THE AUGUSTAN REPRINT SOCIETY _General Editors_ RICHARD C. BOYS EDWARD NILES HOOKER H.T. SWEDENBERG, JR. _THE AUGUSTAN REPRINT SOCIETY_ MAKES AVAILABLE _Inexpensive Reprints of Rare Materials_ FROM ENGLISH LITERATURE OF THE SEVENTEENTH AND EIGHTEENTH CENTURIES Students, scholars, and bibliographers of literature, history, and philology will find the publications valuable. _The Johnsonian News Letter_ has said of them: "Excellent facsimiles, and cheap in price, these represent the triumph of modern scientific reproduction. Be sure to become a subscriber; and take it upon yourself to see that your college library is on the mailing list." The Augustan Reprint Society is a non-profit, scholarly organization, run without overhead expense. By careful management it is able to offer at least six publications each year at the unusually low membership fee of $2.50 per year in the United States and Canada, and $2.75 in Great Britain and the continent. Libraries as well as individuals are eligible for membership. Since the publications are issued without profit, however, no discount can be allowed to libraries, agents, or booksellers. New members may still obtain a complete run of the first year's publications for $2.50, the annual membership fee. During the first two years the publications are issued in three series: I. Essays on Wit; II. Essays on Poetry and Language; and III. Essays on the Stage. _PUBLICATIONS FOR THE FIRST YEAR (1946-1947)_ MAY, 1946: Series I, No. 1--Richard, Blackmore's _Essay upon Wit_ (1716), and Addison's _Freeholder_ No. 45 (1716). JULY, 1946: Series II, No. 1--Samuel Cobb's _Of Poetry_ and _Discourse on Criticism_ (1707).
