Стр. 9 - Many gentlemen have done my brother and me (though without naming us) the honour to reprint many of our hymns.

Стр. 3 - I expect to be for ever free from the temptation of making or mending poems again.* So that my friends may be perfectly secure against this impression's growing waste upon their hands, and useless, as the former has done.
