Mr. Addison's are there distinguished by some one of the letters of the word CLIO; and the same marks of distinction are here continued ; as are also the rest, where any letter was found at the end of the discourse. In those volumes they stand according to the order of time in which they were at first separately published, without any connexion as to the matters contained in them: but here, the several discourses on the same subject, which lie dispersed in those papers, are reduced to their proper heads, and put into one view, that the whole may be more regularly read, and each head may leave a more lasting impression upon the mind of the reader.
