The Works of 0: inimitable Hogarth have not only
been sought for with avidity in' his native Country, but have
been admired by every civilized Nation in the World. Since
his death, variouts Editions ()fills Works have, from time to
time, ben OfE:red to the Public. But, without attempting
to depreciate any of the former EClitiOpp, it is presumed that
the present, Work will, from its -Elegance and Cheapness,
stand tntrivolled._

The whole Work ‘xill.be comprised in Sixteen NuMbers,
making, whee complete, two handsoMe Volumes in Quar-
to. By. adopting this Site in preference to the diminutive
davo, or the ponderous Folio, and printing the Letter-press
in Quarto, to bind up witli—the,Plates, the Plan of this Edi',
tien will differ from any that have
.preceded it, and obviate
many 0 bjedions to former Editions of the WORKS of flo:.
GARTH.

I.VI. turd Prosperity and Happiness of the EMPIRE or,

manent Veace.

This Day was publiped,
Closely printed in Royal.4zo. price 21: 2S. in boards, the First
Volume of

.THE CHRONICLES of HOLINSHED,
1. comprising the Description and History of England,
Scotland, and Ireland.
Printed for j. Johnson, F. C. and I. Rivington, T. Payne,
Wilkie and Robinson,- Longman, Hurst, Rees, and Onne,
Cadell and Davies, and J. Mawinan.
The Work will be completed in Six Volumes. The Se-
cond Volume will be published in the course of May, and the
remainder progressively, as they are finished, in the course cf
the year 1807.
The Chronicles of Holinshed having become exceedingly
-scarce, and from their Rarity and Value having always.
brought a high Ptice whenever they have appeared for Sale,
the Publishers have thought they slipuid perform an accept-
able Service to the Public by reprinting then in a unitbrin,
handiome, and modern Form.
. .

It cannot now be necessary to state the importance and
interesting Nature of this Work. The high Price for which
it has always sold is a sufficient Testimony of the Esteem in
Which it has been held.. ' Holinshed's Description of Britain
is allowed to contain the most curious and authentic Account
of the Manners and Customs of our Island in the Reigns of
Henry VIII. and Elizabeth, in which it was written. His
History of the Transactions of the British Isles, Outing these
Periods, .possesSes all the Foree and value of Contemporary
Evidence, collected by a most skilful Observer; and the pe-
culiar Style and Orthography in which the Work is written,
furnish a very interesting Document to illustrate the His-
tory of the English Language.
Theioriginal Edition of the Chronicles of Holinshed, it is
well known,' was published by their Author in a mutilated
state: A number of-Pages which had obviously been printed
with the rest of the Work, were found to be omitted, except
in a firw Copies, obtained by some favoured Persons. in the
present Edition these Castrations are faithfully restored; and,
in order that the Purchaser may depend upon finding an ex,
aet, as well as a period Copy, it has been a law with the
.Publishers not to alter a single Letter, but to print the Work
with the utmo.it fidelity from the best preceding Edition,
with the Author's own Orthography: The only liberty
taken,-has been to use the. Typ. s of the•present Day, instead
of the old • Emr;ish Letter of the 'rime of Elizabeth.
. _

The Publishers submit to the Public this .Edition of a
curius and valuable Chronicle of our History, with a con-
fident hope, that it will gratify' both the Historical Student
and the General Reader. If it facets with the Reception
which they anticipate, they will be encouraged to select some
others of the rarest and most important of our Ancient Chro-
nicles,And reprint then-I,in like wanner, for the Convenience
and G ratification of the Public.
