Deliverance from public dangers, a solemn call for a national reformation, set forth in a serious and compassionate address to the inhabitants of Great Britain and Ireland: Shewing, first, that our late wonderful deliverances, from the most imminent dangers, call aloud for a public and effectual repentance, and national reformation. Secondly, that the many national vices, still unrepented of, and publicly practised in these kingdoms, threaten us with more severe and terrible judgements. And, thirdly, that, if we will not break off our sins by righteousness, and our iniquities by a sober and godly life, we are not only guilty of the deepest ingratitude, but also of the greatest folly and madness; as such a conduct has a necessary tendency to bring on ourseves most certain and inevitable ruin and destruction. By a sincere lover of his country.

Strictures on modern languages: shewing their usefulness to individuals, to nations, and particularly to the fair sex. To which is added, an essay on the present modes of teaching; and also, a plan of an original work, now in great forwardness, clearly pointing out the facility with which the fluency of speech may be acquired. Who, who would live, my Narva, just to breathe This idle air, and indolently run, Day after day, the still returning round Of life's mean offices, and sickly joys? But, in the service of mankind, to be A guardian god below---still to employ The mind's brave ardour in heroic aims, Such as may raise us o'er the grov'ling herd, And make us shine for ever!---that is life. Humbly dedicated to Mrs. Crewe of Crewe-Hall, by J. E. Parisot de St. Marie.
