Excerpt from Parriana, or Notices of the Rev. Samuel Parr, LL. D, Vol. 1: Collected From Various Sources, Printed and Manuscript The intention of the Author to commuiiicate to the world some Notices of his late learned and amiable friend, Dr. Pans, has been long known to his literary associates. Many persons, with whom he has not the honour of being acquainted, have, from the interest, which they take in the biography of Dr. Parr, expresseda desire for the early appearance of apublication, which, with reference to the grandeur and the importance of the sub ject, stands a fair chance of disappointing their expectations, and of injuring, by the demerits of the Author on this occasion, the little literary reputation, which he possesses in their eyes. He can exhibit to their contemplation only the fragments of a great mind -ih abler biographers, and in the Doctor's own Works, they may view the temple's pride.
