"The following Memoirs were not originally intended for general publication. An imperfect copy having been obtained by Mr. Kearsly, and published by him, without permission from the author, rendered it necessary to give a correct and authentic edition of a work, that has so much engaged the attention, and conversation of the world. For this purpose Mr. Murray, the present publisher, applied to Mr. Hastings, and obtained his consent."--Editor's preface.
