BY JAMES HER VE Y, A. M. A NEW EDITION. Printed from a COPY corrected by the AUTHOR. VOL. I. L O NDON, Printed by John Rivington, jun. FOR JOHN, FRANCIS, AND CHARLES RIVINGTON, G. KEITH, B. LAW, E. AND C. DILLY, J, T. BECKET, G. ROBINSON, R, BALDWIN, T. EVANS, AND W. STUARTER MDCCLXXIX. PATRIK ADVERTISEMENT то THE THIRD EDITION. I MUST entreat the Purchafers of the former Editions, to excufe the Freedom I have taken, in making feveral confiderable Additions to this. It has been done at the Perfuafion of fome judicious Friends, who apprehended, the Piece might be more useful, and lefs unworthy of the public Patronage, if it touched upon fome very interesting Subjects, hitherto omitted. As I had no Views, but to render the Performance more pleasing and Serviceable; no Reader, I hope, will be offended at my Practice, or complain of it as injurious. Nevertheless, as I would willingly avoid, whatever might feem to stand in need of an APOLOGY; I defire Leave to declare, That no future Inlargements, or Alterations, shall be suffered to depreciate what, with the deepest Gratitude for their past Encouragement, I now commit to the Candour of the Public. |
