Acknowledges that Jacob and Richard Tonson are entitled to one moiety of the copyrights of Dr Parnell’s Poems and a play called Chit-Chat, by Killigrew, which have previously been printed with Lintot’s name alone as proprietor; and promises that the Tonsons' names will appear as proprietors in future editions. ‘The Battle of the Frogs and Mice’ he claims as entirely his own, except when it is printed with the rest of Parnell’s Poems.
