••• Many spurious and mutilated Editions of this Work

prefeek Editions (published above Thirty Years since) and with
prevented Improvements, Dr. Buchan thinks it his duty to put
the Public on their guard against thaw impositions, intended
to take in the unwary, and to injure the Author's reputation,
by making him responsible for their errors and- defets. in
this Eighteenth Edition, he has considerably enlarged every
chapter, and introduced above an Hundred Pages of original
matter, on a variety of new and interesting subjects the re-
sult of his practice and experience, which he hopes will render
the Work more conducive to the great purposes yf general aid
useful information.
