Duty and Happiness are inseparable. Whether lie has succeeded in this Noble, and Generous Attempt, the Reader will be better able to judge, if he reads with the fame Freedom, and Impartiality, as the Author wrote.

THE Manner of debating a Subject Dialoguewife, (as This between A. and B.) was esteem'd by the Ancients the most proper, as well as most prudent, Way of expofing prevailing Absurdities; and Tully's two Discourses, de Natura Deorum, and de Divinatione, both levell'd against the Superftition of his Country-men; are living Monuments of the Expediency, and Usefulness of this Way of Writing: And certainly, the Reader may be better entertain'd thus, than by that dry Way of Objec tion and Answer, with which Controverfies are usually manag'd..
