We have the Permission of George Scott, Esq (who kindly undertook to settle the Affairs of Mr Nash, for the Benefit of his Family and Creditors) to assure the Public, that all the Papers found in the Custody of Mr Nash, which any ways respected his Life, and were thought interesting to the Public, were communicated to the Editor of this Volume, so that the Reader will, at least, have the Satisfaction of perusing an Account that is genuine, and not the Work of Imagination, as Biographical writings too frequently are.
