(Dr. Bliss has been so obliging as to add to the foregoing list of the works of bishop Burnet the three following tracts. A letter from the bishop of Salisbury to the clergy of his diocese. To be read at the triennial visitation in April and May, 1708. 4to. one sheet. It is in the British Museum, as well as the following tract. A letter to a lord, upon his happy conversion from popery to the protestant religion. By G. Burnet, D. D. Printed in the year 1688. Four pages in 4to. Thoughts on education, by the late bishop Burnet. Now first printed from an original manuscript. London. 8vo. 1761. 66 66 66 In the New Biographia Britannica, vol. III. p. 34-38. where has been added by Dr. Kippis a very sensible critique on Burnet's principal works, and particularly on this History of his Own Time, it is observed, p. 37, that "the bishop was the author of a few publications not specified "in Flexman's Catalogue. One or two pieces were written by him concerning the treaty of Ryswick, and another on "the conferences at Gertrudenberg. He wrote likewise a "preface to Mrs. Cockburn's Two Letters concerning a "Guide in Controversies, (Life of Mrs. Cockburn, p. xxx. "Works, vol. I. p. 3, 4.) In the Annual Register for 1760 we find, 'An humble Representation to those who are "to sit on the throne,' said to be left by our prelate to "be printed after his death. (Annual Register, vol. III. p. "181.) It is certain, that a book which he had finished "and prepared for the press, intitled Essays and Medi"tations on Morality and Religion,' was directed by him "in his last will, to be published, but it doth not appear "that this order was ever put into execution, (see Flexman's "Catalogue, at the end.) Mr. Whiston mentions a Vindi"cation which bishop Burnet wrote of himself from the re"flections which doctor Stillingfleet cast upon him, for re"quiring bonds of resignation from those whom he made "prebendaries of Sarum, in case they left that diocese. "The publication of this paper, of which Mr. Whiston 66 being written, out of respect to bishop Stillingfleet; nor "did Mr. Thomas Burnet, after his father's decease, "choose to give it to the world. (Whiston's Life, p. 36, 66 37.)" In the year 1815 was published at London, in 8vo. a book entitled, A Memorial offered to the princess Sophia, electoress and duchess dowager of Hanover, containing a delineation of the constitution and policy of England, according to the original in the royal library at Hanover, by Gilbert Burnet, bishop of Salisbury. To which are added, letters from Burnet and Leibnitz. But it appears from page 83 of the Memorial itself, compared with the signature G. S. that the real author was George Smyth, esq. of North Nibley in Glocestershire. That it is erroneously ascribed to bishop Burnet, may be collected from other passages also of this Memorial.)
