The English language has hitherto been withoet any popular
view of Universal History. It will be immediately Confessed by
every competent judge, that Dossuet is at once too short, and un-
satisfactory; that Voltaire is too gay, and desultory; and that
the great English Universal History is rather to be consulted as a
Dictionary, than to be perusitd as an Analysis of the subject to
which it relates. Whit these writers have not done, bus been at-
tempted by the Author of the present work. He has been soli-
citous to avoid the extresms or prolixity and ity; sad to be
Abduct, pleasing, aad reasprehasolya.
