LADIES AND GrNTLPMEN,
ikVacancy having ("centred in The East India-
INrection, I respectfully solicit the frmur of your Votes
and lctec.;„ rlropspy opulirctej jo the honour of filling it.
Wren I first Zkciarainy inttenrion of olreflelrseyself to ',Atilt-
moire, as a Candidate 6r the Direction; my heaps. Strere Winded,
wick!, upon the experience which you have had of my conduct,
as a Proprietor. 1 slsould not, however, do justice to the un-
enmnioaly kind and fiatteriug receptiod which I have met with,
if I did not, now, feel confident tut, by 3 CCnitin:•:atiOn of such
kindness, l shall be placed in the Lirourable situation to which I
aspire.
I am still impressed with the importcnce of the situation, even
in common times. But at this time, vi Is our Chartn. nearly ex-
piring, the Trust is of much more foal) usual magnitude. If the
part, which I have publicly taken in the Court of Proprietors,
should induce to believe, that I ant qualified to discharge the
peculiarly important duties of a Director, 1 request the honour of
your support.
I cannot conclude this Address without expressing my sincere
concern at the loss which we have all sustained, by the death of Sir
Wilhamßensley. I have long known and valued him ; and, upon
many occasions, I have experienced his friendly disposition to-
wards me. If, by your favour, I shall bd appointed to fill the
vacancy which his death has occasioned, I shall bear in mind and
endeavour to imitate his many excellent qualities, and, particu-
larly, his inflexible integrity.
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, with much respect,
Your most obedient, and very humble Servant,

Printed for Longman, Hunt, Rees, mid Orme, Vernor, Hood,

This work is opon a plan entirely rew, and will be found
mach more comprehensive than a:ty compendium of Geography
and History hitherto published. The Geogrlphy of each Coun-
try, and its Natural History, are here treated a: c nisiderable
length, and from the late authorities ; the principal Cities, with
:he objects of curiosity or interest contained in them, are fully
d?scribed, as are also such Edifices and other works of human
art, as were thought deserving of notice. The Political and Civil
liistory of each nation succeeds, in which the aim of the Author
has been, in narrating its principal revolutions, to trace its pro
gress in the arts of civilized life. To the History is added, an ac-
count of the present state, political and moral, of every country,
exhibiting the rank it sustains in the scale of Civilization, and its
relative importance among nations.
