in every theory he has been more anxious to point out the good

PREFACE.
With many misgivings, but no fewer good intentions, this little
barque is launched upon the waters of the wide world ; not, how-
ever, without a conviction of her utility, or a sincere hope that ere
long she may find shelter in the harbour of public approbation.
'lke Proprietors, in her construction, have desired to keep in
view two important items—utility and economy; and both, it is
trusted, have been preserved.
With respect to her cargo, all that can be said of it is, that it is
a general one ; but freighted as she is with the productions—aye,
and characters, too—of some hundred great and good men, it is
believed it may turn out a valuable one. Her furniture has been
chosen rather for its use than ornament ; and, if in her cabin a
gaudy mirror or two can be pointed at, it is only that, Virtue may
behold her loveliness, and Vice its natural deformity, in full-length
portraits.
Her Captain has the satisfaction to know, whatever her faults
may turn out, she has not• the excuse to plead of being hurried, for
she has been many a day upon the stocks, and in her progress to-
wards completion more than a thousand authorities have been con-
sulted. Such as she is, however, she departs upon her voyage with
the gentle spirits of her numerous passengers, and the Purveyor's
London
desire that her commodities may be purchased with no less
pleasure than it has cost to produce them.
