THE Author of the Narrative died lately abroad, and the manuscripts, from which the following extracts have been made, were found among his papers by his executor. None of them are dated, but it appears from feveral circumstances, that they were written recently, and intended for anonymous publication. They are fo voluminous, that it would be too expensive to print the whole of each of them: The Editor therefore humbly hopes, that the extracts he offers will not be unacceptable to the public; especially as the Jubjects, on which they are written, are in themfelves highly important, and the Author of the Narrative, who, during a long course of travelling, had many accurate and interefting views of the human character, has expreffed high approbation of the writers of the letters.
