Note

A hostile reprint, with a few minor changes, of the preface from Kennett's translation of Pliny, 1686, which was entitled: 'An address of thanks to a good prince, presented in the panegyrick of Pliny, upon Trajan, the best of Roman emperors.' Intended to prove Kennett a turncoat from his former loyalist views. Extracts from this preface had been published in 1704 under the title 'White against Kennett, or, Dr. Kennet's panegyrick upon the late King James.'.
