By WILLIAM MAVOR, LL.D. .
Vicar of Hurley, in Berkshire, and Chaplain to the Earl of
Duntiries ; Author of the British 1-epos, &c. &e.
The English Language has hitherto been without any po-
pular View of Universal History. It is the subjed which,
beyond all others, is emphatically the proper study of Man,
but none of the existing. Works will be found to answer the
purposes of a chart or comment, giving order and arrange-
ment to the great mass of. History, and adapted-to•the wishes
of persons who do not make Literature the sok- business of
their lives. It will be, immediately confessed by evziry com-
petent judge, that Bossuet is -too short and' unsatisfaetory ;
that Voltaire is too gay, uneiaborate, and desultory ; and that
the English Universal History is rather to be consulted like
a Dittionary than to be perused as an analysig of the science
to which. it relates. What•these Writers have not done, tile
Author of the piesent Work is anxious to do. He-is solicit-
ous to avoid the extremes of prolixity and brevity ; to be
distinct}, pleasing, and comprehensive ; ne :hopes, therefore,
to render this Work a most desirable acquisition to Young
Persons, to Public Schools, to.. Ladies, to Circulating Libra-
ries, to all Private-_,Colledions, and, in gerieral,-to all
Per-
sons to whoM the UniverSal History, in 66 volaines-, is either
too voluminous or-too expensive.. • , . •

corleaions of this nature has long been .a desideraturn among

an express view to supply the existing deficiency, by a Gen-
tleman, who, during a long. and active life, -has made it his
amusement, to coiled materials ior such a • work from every
possible source, and it will scarcely fail to be admitted as an
agreeable Companion into every P.ostchaise, Parlour-win-
