Nouvelle edition, Augumentee denotes et eclaircissemens
necessaires. Par M. HORACE WALPOLE. MDCCLXXII, 4to. The
title-page is succeeded by a dedication "a Madame ----," in
six lines and a half, printed in a very large type. Then
follows an "Avis de L'Editour," and "Avertissement,"
occupying three pages. An "Epitre a Monsieur le Comte de
Grammont,' continues to p. xxi: then a "Table des
Chapitres," to p. xxiii., on the back of which are the
errata. The body of the work extends to 290 pages; which are
succeeded by "Table des Personnes," or index, in three
pages. These memoirs are printed with the middle size type;
but neither the type nor paper are so beautiful as are those
of Hentzner's Travels, or the comparison between Magliabechi
and Hill. PORTRAITS. 1. Le Comte Antoine Hamilton, faces the
title page. 2. Philibert, Comte de Grammont, opposite the
"Epitre:" badly executed. 3. A portrait of Miss Warminster,
opposite p. 85, in the style of Worlidge's gems. 4.
Mademoiselle d'Hamilton, Comtesse de Grammont, faces p. 92.
This engraving, by G. Powle, is executed in a style of
beauty and spirit that has seldom been surpassed. 5. Lord
Chesterfield, second Earl, in the style of the preceding;
very beautiful. There were only 100 copies of this edition
printed, of which 30 were sent as presents to Paris.----XVI.
_The Sleep Walker, a Comedy_: in two acts. Translated [by
Lady Craven] from the French, in March. Printed by T.
Kirgate, MDCCLXXVIII, 8vo. It is printed in the small type
on 56 pages, exclusively of viii. introductory ones, of
"prologues" and "persons," &c. Only 75 copies were printed:
and of these, one was sold for 4_l._ in the year 1804, at a
public auction.----XVII. _A Letter to the Editor of the
Miscellanies of Thomas Chatterton._ Printed by T. Kirgate.

bastard title: and is followed by 55 pages of the work, not
very elegantly printed. Only 200 copies.----XVIII. _The Muse
Recalled_, an ode occasioned by the nuptials of Lord
Viscount Althorp (the late Earl Spencer) and Miss Lavinia
