Babt. AUTHOR 07 PELHAM, A c. ftc Of the fair celebrities who hare given a title to these volumes, it cannot be unknown to so well read an historical scholar as yourself, that one the true heroine of the story has been immortalized by the praises of Pope, Gay, Churchill, Horace Walpole and Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, and has also had the honour of being made the subject of a little poem in the English language from the pen of Voltaire. Indeed Mary Lepel was one of those rare characters formed to be the ornament of her circle, and the boast of her age.
