The obituary in The Gentleman's Magazine of Pratt summarized his life in these words: "No man who ever attained public distinction was more exempt from envy; and though he may, in the vicissitudes of a life unsupported by fortune and exposed to all the casualties of a precarious subsistence, have fallen into errors, nothing of malice or ill-nature can justly be imputed to him; and as his works are all intended to promote the interests of virtue, none of these errors should be remembered in his epitaph." ESTC T85831 locates copies in BL, Bodleian, Cambridge, Longleat; Harvard (Houghton), Library Company Philadelphia, University of King's College (Nova Scotia), and Yale (3). Uncommon.
