Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

In a word, Kynafton, at that time was so beautiful a Youth, that the the Ladles of Quality prided themselves in taking him with them in their Coaches, to Hyde-Park, in his Theatrical Habit, after the Play; which in those Days they might have sussicient time to do, because Plays then, were us'd to begin at four a-CIock: The Hour that People of the fame Hank, are now going to Dinner.
