Author:
William Enfield
Confidence:
Speculation (10%)
Comments:
Although indicated on the title page as author of the prefixed essays 'On Elocution' and 'On Reading Works of Taste', Enfield's overall contribution to the composition of the miscellany is unknown. Curiously, the title page terms Enfield the 'Late Lecturer on the Belles Lettres'; but Enfield did not die until 1797.
