Volume IV Part 3 (1/2)

Prebendary of Brecon and Chaplain in Ordinary to His MAJESTY.

IT IS APPOINTED ONCE FOR MEN TO DIE, BUT AFTER THIS THE JUDGMENT, Heb. ix. 27.

THE FIFTH EDITION.

A desire of extending the very laudable Practice of giving Books at Funerals, and the great propriety of the present Work for that Purpose, have induced the Editors to put this valuable Performance one Third cheaper than the London Edition, although it is by no Means Inferior in point of Elegance.

Some of the business localities of Boston in the last century were known by names which now strike us as very queer or quaint. We select a number of advertis.e.m.e.nts from the ”Gazette,” ”Post-Boy,” and ”Chronicle.”
