Excerpt from Original Letters, Principally From Lord Charlemont, the Right Honorable Edmund Burke, William Pitt, Earl of Chatham, and Many Other Distinguished Noblemen and Gentlemen, to the Right Hon. Henry Flood: Printed From the Correspondence in Their Own Hand-Writing, in the Possession of the Editor Shortly after the death of Mr. Flood, which occurred at the close of the year 1791, one of his Executors, accompanied by the Agent of the deceased, occupied themselves for several days in destroying scripts, without any examination. It was the good fortune of the Publisher to enter the room, and put a stop to the conflagration before the entire of them were destroyed. The Letters in question were among those saved, with some others which it is not thought advisable at present to disclose. They were taken to Lady Frances Flood: some of them she retained; but these Letters she gave to her relative, requesting that no use might be made of them while the parties con cerned were in existence. He trusts he has fulfilled the confidence reposed in him, and, at the same time, given a satisfactory reason for having so long withheld from public view what he considers a literary as well as a political curiosity.
