It is universally allowed that History is net only one of
the ;nom useful, as well as our of the most polite studies
that [AO he posited ; but it is equally cc' tain, that it affords
the greatest fund of real knowledge and improvement; so
that for a native of this country to he ignorant of the His.wry of the United Kingdom of Great Rritsin, would, iii the
present day, render him totally unqualified fur milder em-
ployment, ur fur general COUlTlltillotl. Nu conntry in the
world has experienced greater vicissitudes and chromes than
that which we inhabit ; and nu one possesses a greater
claim to the 'allows of the historian.
The mots whirl. have taken place during the last fifty
years, have rendered the compolition of a new History of
this Country more necessnry than ever ; for whoever casts
a retrospective eye over the transactions of the present
reign, null readily acknowledge, that .t is pregnant with
circumstances of sorb iiingoituile, as cannot fail to render it
au iinpoi rant epoch nu the,annals of English History.
