Synopsis

LEST my readers, and more especially the fair part of them, be startled to find themselves thus accosted-from another world, I take the freedom in the first place, to assure them that I am a peaceable and altogether inoffensive ghost. hi the many pri¬vate transactions whereat I have been present un¬seen, I have ever observed a strict discretion. The secrets of the rouge-pot are as safe with me as with my lady's own woman : and when I have found a lover in the closet of a dame of quality, I have taken no more notice, than her husband himself would have done of a like accident.
