SINCE the publication o f the firft edition o f this work, a
quarto pamphlet has appeared, under the title o f
“ A letter! from Mr. Dalrymple to Dr. Hawkefworth, occa-
“ fioned by fome groundlefs and illiberal Imputations in his
“ Account o f the late Voyages to the South Seas.”

to he groundlefs and illiberal were imputed to me; that I
was charged with having formed fuppofitions injurious
to Mr. Dalrymple, with contradidting a known fadt, with
ignorant criticifms on his obfervations, and with, fuppreffing
whatever .would do him credit. As ;I had declared in my
general Introdudtion, that “ the account was drawn up from
“ the journals kept by the Commanders of the feveral fliips,
and from other affiftance, (the papers o f .Mr. Banks) with
“ liberty however o f interfperfing fuch fentiments and ob- .
“ fervations as my fubjecT Ihould fugged,’’” I wondered at
firft at this Gentleman’s hafte to vent his refentment againft
me, before he had informed himfelf whether I was in fault,
which not only in candour but in juftice he Ihould certainly
have done, efpecially as both my perfon and place o f abode
are well known to him, but I foon difeovered that my book
found him in an ill-humour. He pathetically complains of an
influence which prevented him from going in the Endeavour ;
of an injury done him in depriving him of the £hip he had
