A short relation, concerning a dream, which the author had on September 18, 1769. With some remarks on the late comet. Together with a short exhortation to all into whose hands my dream may fall. The author's apology to the printer. Be kind enough to excuse the writing o the following dream, also the exhortation; as I have not been able to hold a pen in my hand for this 14 years past, but wrote them with a pen in my mouth, which was the only method I could think of to communicate it to the public.
