THE SECOND EDITION.

FROM

a diffidence of his own abilities,

and from other motives not fo well founded, the Author of the following Letters thought it expedient, in the First Edition, to throw a flight veil over the real fituation in which they were written: he imagined alfo, that by this means fome reflections, particularly those on gaming, might be introduced more naturally, and with a stronger effect. But having been affured by those of whose friendship and judgment he is equally convinced, that the affumed character and feigned fituation in the two first letters gave an air of fiction to the real incidents in the reft of the work, he has now restored those

two letters to their original form.
