LETTER CCXLI. A Letter from the Reverend Dr. Hammond, to the most Reverend James Usher Arch-bishop of Armagh. (Book 241)
My Lord;
SOme few Dissertations I have put together, with some purpose to adven∣ture them to the Press; But first desire to offer them to your Grace's view, to receive your judgment of the fitness of so doing. If the whole do bring too great a trouble to your Grace, you may then read over the Lemmata, and thereby be directed to read where you think there will be most hazard of my running any Error. And if upon survey your Grace shall find cause to send back the Book again for my further thoughts, it will be welcome, if accompanied with your Directions. But if there be no more dangerous 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 than what your Pen may without much trouble correct, I desire it may then be returned to Mr. Royston this Bearer, with a word of notice to him that he may proceed. But I must desire from your Grace the favour of perfect secrecy till the Book be printed, and then it shall visit your Grace again. From
Your Graces most humble Servant, H. Hammond.
Dec. 6.
