A LETTER from the PRINTER, which he deſires may be inſerted.
Sir,
I Have done with your Copy, ſo you may return it to the Vatican if you pleaſe; and pray tell Mr. Angelo to bruſh up the Cuts, that, in the next Edition, they may give us a good Impreſſion.
The Foreſight and Sagacity of Mrs. Margery 's Dog calls to my Mind a Circumſtance, which happened when I was a Boy. Some Gentlemen in the Place where I lived had been hunting, and were got under a great Tree to ſhelter themſelves from a Thunder Storm; when a Dog that always followed one of the Gentlemen leaped up his Horſe ſeveral Times, and then ran away and barked. At laſt, the Gentlemen all followed to ſee what he would be at; and they were no ſooner gone from the Tree, but it was ſhivered in Pieces by Lightning!
Tis remarkable, that as ſoon as they came from the Tree the Dog appeared to be very well ſatisfied, and barked no more. The Gentleman after this always regarded the Dog as his Friend, treated him in his Old
Age
