When the case of lord Melville was sent to press, I intended to subjoin to it an Appendix of documents illustrative of the history of that prosecution; I was however induced to abandon this plan on finding that the trial itself would occupy a much larger portion of the present Volume than I had originally expected. The Reader is therefore requested to cancel in pages 550, 559, and 599, the references to the Appendix, and instead thereof, in p. 550, to refer to 3 Hansard's Parl. Debates, 1147; in p. 559 to 5 Hansard's Parl. Debates, Appendix, p. 1; and in p. 599 to 6 Hansard's Parl. Debates, Appendix, p. cxlii.

In Vol. iii, p. 310, of this Continuation, the Cursory Strictures on Lord Chief Justice Eyre's Charge are attributed to the late Mr. Felix Vaughan; I have since learnt that this pamphlet was written by Mr. W. Godwin. It was from Mr. Vaughan's having written another at the same period that the mistake originated.
