Excerpt from Letters From Thomas Percy, D. D., Afterwards Bishop of Dromore, John Callander of Craigforth, Esq., David Herd, and Others, to George Paton
For the other pieces, which you were so good as to present to me, I beg you will accept my kind acknowledgments. I have nothing equal ly curious to return at present; but hope you will accept a little piece, which I lately printed for the use of my parishioners, intitled, A Key to the New Testament.
