Our hero, much as he had been engaged, had still found opportunities of meeting Dr. Strongbrain, who exacted a promise from him, of sending him a written account of Brighton and its environs, according to the impression it made upon him at the time. Our hero was as good as his word, and wrote a description of this celebrated watering-place, which the reader will find in the following chapter.

“The Tales of Boccaccio are too well known to the Public, to render any critical account of their merits or demerits necessary at this period. It is sufficient, therefore, to observe of the present Edition, that the Translator has carefully improved the language of the former English Edition, and expunged many of the passages that were offensive to decency. The Book too is extremely well printed, and to it is prefixed an engraved head of the Author, from Titian, very well executed. The Editor of this Work has displayed considerable diligence in research, and skill in application, and has furnished the best life of his Author now extant. In his Advertisement he briefly notices the defects of the former Translation, and the improvements in the present, which are not more judicious than they were necessary.”
