Item 826. - E. Williams, London, to Rev. John Walters, Cowbridge,

They have been considering the addressee's long list of Errata. 'Mr E. Jones, your Printer, Mr O. Jones, Mr W. Owen, and others, are of opinion that it would, in its present length, very much injure the credit and sale of the work'. He has presumed to take the opinions of Mr Nichols and Mr Johnson (the Booksellers) also. What Mr Melmoth, the translator of Pliny's Letters, once told him. Will the addressee permit them to dash out some of his errata? He thinks the addressee's Dedication excellent - is highly pleased to see that it is to the Bishop of Landaff. The addressee's preface and his own. Some of his (EW's) book will be soon at Cowbridge. His King-flogging notes. 'Tom Paine ran in six months thro' more than twenty editions, but I am not Tom Paine yet, and for the sake of my little Children to whom a father will, for a little while, be better than money, I will not endeavour to be so till I am in America; and there I will publish my Kingcraft versus Christianity ----'. EW's views on the world.
