THE following selections were, for the great est part, made from the most eminent writers, which acknowledgment- supersedes the necessity of attending to the customary mode of adding the author's name to each individual se-lection. THE Author acknowledges with gratitudethe liberal patronage his Art of Reading has received from the publick in the first edition. He now offers the tenth edition, with such alterations only as were thought necessary to render the work more improved. But in future, the Art of Reading will retain its present form, should it meet so favourable a reception from the public as to encourage any future editions.. It solicits, however, no favour but what it merits from its real utility; neither does it design any competition with similar compilations, but what the judicious are willing to allow it, upon a candid and impartial review of its contents.
