but should I publish any Favours done me by Your Lordship, I am afraid it would look more like Vanity, than Gratitude.

I had a very early Ambition to recommend myself to Your Lordship's Patronage, which yet increas'd in me as I travell'd thro' the Countries, of which I here give Your Lordship fome Account: For whatever great Impreffions an

Eng

Englishman must have Your Lordship, they who have been converfant Abroad will find them ftill improved. It cannot but be obvious to them, that, tho' they fee Your Lordfhip's Admirers every where, they meet with very few of Your Well-wishers at Paris

or at Rome.

And I could

not but obferve, when I paffed through most of the Proteftant Governments

in Europe, that their Hopes or Fears for the Common Cause rofe or fell with Your Lordship's Intereft and Authority in England.

I here present Your Lordship with the Remarks that I made in a Part of these my Travels; wherein, notwithstanding the Variety of the Subject, I am very fenfible that I offer nothing New to Your Lordship, and

can

can have no other Defign in this Addrefs, than to declare that I am,

My LORD,

Your Lordship's most obliged and

moft obedient humble Servant,

J. ADDISON.
