M.Wellciofe fq. 1 fhare The author perhaps fhould also note, as errata, the words common people, better fort of people, &c. in fhort, every expreffion which may have efcaped him tending to exalt or deprefs the human fpecies, from any confideration of outward circumftances; and, in fo doing, he claims the indulgence due to a foreigner, who receives or picks up certain phrafes without entirely entering into their full fignification. The better fort of people are thofe who are frugal in their expences, and confcientiously apply their time and poffeflions to the good of fociety, and it is to be regret ed that the oppofite character is common.
