T^HESE Fables were finiflied by Mr. Gay, and- intended for the prefs, a fhort time before his death;when they were left, with his other papers, to the careof his noble friend and patron the Duk-? of Qijeens-RERRY. His Grace has accordingly permitted them tothe prefs, and they are here printed from the originalsin the authors own hand-writing. We hope they willpleafe equally with his former Fables, though moftlyon fubjeds of a graver and more political turn. Theywill certainly (hew him to have been (what he efteemedthe bed character) a man of a truly honeft heart, and afincere lover of his country. F A B L E S. 197 T^
