Cotton with this elegant encomium : ''Pray believe, that he who can translate such an author without doing him wrong, must not only make me glad, but proud of being his very humble servant, Halifax." These are the whole of Mr. Cotton's writings, published in his life-time. Those that came abroad after his decease, were Poems on several Occasions^ 8vo. 1689, a bookseller's publication, tumbled into the world without preface, apo- logy, or even correction, that will be spoken of hereafter ; and a... translation from the French of the Memoirs of the Sieur de Pontis, published in 1694, by his son, Mr. Beres- ford Cotton, and by him dedicated to the then Duke of Ormond, as having been undertaken, and completed, at the request of the old Duke, his grace's grandfather. It is too much to be feared, that the difficulties he la- boured under, and, in short, the straitness of his circum- stances, were the reasons that induced Mr. Cotton to employ himself in writing ; and, in that, so much more in translation than original composition.
