Whereas Andrew Steuart, of Philadelphia, Printer, hath
lately, in a clandestine manner, and without the consent or
knowledge of the author, republished a poem on science, in a
very incorrect duodecimo pamphlet, in order to undersell the
first edition: The author of the said poem therefore hopes,
that the public will not lay to his charge the gross errors
of that spurious edition; but attribute them either to the
ignorance or malice of said Steuart. This practice, however
iniquitous it may appear, is nevertheless common with this
printer: And the author would not have troubled himself or
the public with so undeserving a subject, if he had not
thought so much necessary, to clear himself from the
absurdities of said Steuart's publication, to those who may
not have known the circumstances of this affair.
