    THE ORIGINAL, AND THE OSLY AUTHENTIC ACCOUNT OF THE TRIAL OF EUGENES ARAM, (LATE A SCHOOL-MASTER AT KNARESBROUG H,) FOR THE MURDER OF DANIEL CLARK ; With his autobiography, and a particular account of his Studies, and literary attainments; also, several of his Letters, and Poems ; and his plan and specimens of an Angio-Celtic Lexicon. A NEW EDITION. If ever Murder was entitled to indulgence perhaps it might have been extended not improperly to this Man, (Eugene Aram) whose genius in itself prodigious might have been everted in works of general utility. He had in spite of all the disadvantages, attending low birth and straightened circumstances, by dint of bis own capacity and inclination, made considerable progress in Mafchematicks and Philosophy, acquired all the languages ancient an*1 modern, and executed part of a Celtic Dictionary which had he lived to finish, might have thrown some essential light upon the origin and obscurities of the European history.
