Lord Shaftesbury's _Letters to a young Man at the University_, on which Mr. SINGER has addressed to you an interesting communication (Vol. ii., p. 33.), were reprinted in 1746 in a collection of his letters, "_Letters of the Earl of Shaftesbury, author of the Characteristicks, collected into one volume_: printed MDCCXLVI." 18mo. This volume contains also Lord Shaftesbury's letters to Lord Molesworth, originally published by Toland, with an introduction which is not reprinted; a "Letter sent from Italy, with the notion of the Judgment of Hercules, &c., to my Lord ----"; and three letters reprinted from Lord Shaftesbury's life in the _General Dicionary_, which was prepared by Dr. Kippis, under the superintendence of Lord Shaftesbury's son, the fourth earl.
