Excerpt from A Lecture on Deads: To Which Is Added, an Essay on SatireThere having been several pirated editions published of this lecture, it is necessary to describe their nature, and to explain the manner in which they were obtained, from which the public will judge, how much they have been imposed upon by the different publishers.When the Lecture was first exhibited, very paltry abridgment was published by a bookseller in the city. This edition was so different from the original delivered by Mr. Stevens, that he thought it too contemptible to affect his interest, which alone prevented him from commencing any legal process against the publisher for thus trespassing on his right and property.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
