tors, and Guardians, compr;ting all thole papers in which the pe-
cu:...r fpirit and excelltilice of :hefe Works chiefly relides, might
be no unacceptable prefent to the world in general, and particularly
to Young People of both Sexes, who may not happen to poffefa
the originals; and who, if they did. would want a guide, in fo
nufcellaneous a work, to direst them to what is beR worth their
notice. The gen.]. .:icy of readers, of whore various occupations
the cultivation of Literature mattes only a part, (and of this clafs
are nearly all women, and mnft men who are not devoted to pro
feffional Rudies), may. perhaps, be well content to have foam of
the molt beautiful complitiom in our language prefented to them,
without being ohliged to lnfe their own time in feparating them
from a mars of tinititerelling matter." Irons Mrs Barbauld'a Effay.
