4PITOME OF ENGLISH LITERA-,
TURE ; nr, a Concentration of the Matter of
STANDARD ENGLISH AUTHORS, on a plan entirely
new ; with Portraits, Biographical Sketches, ke.
No. I. Containing PALEY'S MORAL PHILOSO-
PHY, with a Portrait.
The object of this undertaking is to publish, in monthly
volumes, in a concentrated form, a Series of Standard
English Authors; of whose works the present generation
know little, and the rising youth must know less.
From the limits of an advertisement, it is impossible to
state the precise nature of the plan intended to he adopted ;
suffice it to observe that in history no facts, and in philo-
sophy no reasoning, will be omitted or distorted, so as to
render a reference to the original author requisite; and
thus the youth especially of both sexes may become per-
fectly acquainted with authors repulsive from their hulk
alone, at a comparatively little cost of time as well as price..
" Were all books reduced to their quintessence, many a
bulky author would make his appearance in a pamphlet;:
there would be scarce such a thing as a folio; and the
works of an age would be contained on a few shelves."—
Addison.
The series will be confined to the popular productions of
writers in prose, and the following authors will be first
select,d :
HISTORICAL—BURNET, CLARENDON, GIB-
BON, HUME, ROBERTSON, Scc-
PHILOSOPHICAL—BACON, LOCKE, PALEY.
MISCELLANEOUS—ADDISON, GOLDSMITH,
JOHNSON, MILTON, SWIFT, &c.
No. 11. will contain PALEY'S EVIDENCES of
CHRISTIANITY; and LOCKE on the HUMAN UN-
DERSTANDING, with a Portrait.
The Historical and Miscellaneous Series will be ready
for publication in the spritsg, commencing with Gibbon,
Clarendon, Rollin, Addison, Johnson, &c.
Edited and printed under the superintendance of A. J.
Valpy, M.A., fled Lion-court, Fleet-street ; and sold by
all Booksellers in town and country.
