An apology for the conduct of Mrs. Teresia Constantia Phillips : more particularly that part of it which relates to her marriage with an eminent Dutch merchant ; the whole authenticated by faithful copies of his letters, and of the settlement which he made upon her to induce her to suffer (without any real opposition on her part) a sentence to be pronounced against their marriage : together with such other original papers, filed in the cause, as are necessary to illustrate that remarkable story.
