Lowndes says, "In this edition the Prologues and Epilogues are omitted."
This statement is incorrect; none of them are lacking.

The character that Mrs. Behn has acquired for gross and licentious writing,
is a blot on her reputation for judgment and ability, which was so great that
Charles II. thought fit to entrust her with the conduct of some political affairs
in Holland.

"In Jeremy Bentham (says a great critic), the world has lost the great
eacher and patriot of his time; the man who has exercised and is exercising
over the fortunes of mankind the widest and most durable influence.'
16 A
knowledge of Bentham's works (says another) is a key which unlocks all the
mysteries of social and political government." Sir James Mackintosh, Lord
Jeffrey, Lord Brougham, Mr. Mill, and other great authorities, are equally
emphatic in their appreciation of his labors.

“Dr. Parr considered Bentham as the wisest man of his time, whose power-
ful mind had anticipated the improvements of coming ages."-FIELD'S LIFE
OF PARR
