Note 561 — PART THE SECOND. (continued 13)
Reading edition
We here subjoin the letter which Cowper addressed to Johnson, the bookseller, on this occasion.
Weston, Oct. 3, 1790.
Mr. Newton having again requested that the Preface which he wrote for my first volume may be prefixed to it, I am desirous to gratify him in a particular that so emphatically bespeaks his friendship for me; and, should my books see another edition, shall be obliged to you if you will add it accordingly.
W. C.
