Virtue: That if any Desertion be shameful, it is the Desertion from Truth and the Welfare of their Country: If any Attachment be honourable, it is an impartial Attachment to the public Weal, unbiassed by private Affections and Regards. If any Acknowledgment be the certain Mark of a great and ingenuous Mind, it is the Acknowledgment of its own Errors, or those of a Patron, Friend, or Ancestor.
These Remarks the Writer submits to the Impartiality and Candor of his Countrymen; desiring that they may be regarded as his Mite, thrown in towards the Accomplishment of the Sovereign's Wish, on his Accession to the Throne; that of "founding the Liberty and Happiness of this Kingdom on the solid Basis of Religion and Virtue, and uniting all Honest Men in the steady Prosecution of this great Purpose."
THE END.
