Sir -The enclosed ancient manuscript I found some years ago in a grocer's shop in this town of whom I obtained it with a view of saving what remained from destruction. I lament extremely that a page has been torn out; and it gives me pleasure that I now have an opportunity of placing it in your hands -a freedom I am induced to take from your advertisement of the first of November 1792 and from a persuasion that it may contribute in some measure to the important objects of your Society and I could wish I might otherwise be serviceable.
