T h e Preface to Sydney Parkin W s "Journal was drawn up after
his death, at the requeft o f his brother, Stanfield Parkinfon, the
original editor, by the late Dr. Kenrick, who was totally unacquainted
with Dr. Fothergill, as he informed me at the time
was employed in writing, and whofe foie apology was the pecuniary
M M his labour. I have preferved this Preface, as well
^ added Dr. Fothergill’ s Remarks upon it, in jollification o f his
condtuft.
As controverfial performances, I did not think them B f l B
importance to infert them in my edition o f D r. Fothergill s work
and more efpecially as the unmerited fufpicions whic gave r
' the Preface, no longer fubfifted. The brother.of I g | g | g |
