By GEORGE CRABS, A.M.
Author of " A .Universal Technological Dictionary•," and of
" English Synonymes Explained."
The flattering reception which the " Technological Dictionary"
has met with, has encouraged the Author to bring forward, with-
out delay, an Historical Work on a similar plan, which will be an
equally useful companion to the general reader; its object being
to furnish _such information as the immediate occasion may require.
This work will comprise, in Two Quarto Volumes, a greater va-
riety of articles than anything of the kind which has ever been pub•
!Weld in any language ; and, under the general name of an Histo-
rical Dictionary, will comprehend everything that is connected
with, or can serve to illustlate general history.
In order to give every possible degree of completeness to a work
of this magnitude and importance, the publishers have spared no
expense in procuring, for the plates, the best copies of portraits of
illustrious persons who have attained to the highest degree of emi-
nence or celebrity; and in order to facilitate the reference to par-
ticular subjects, distinct Plates are assigned to persons according to
their rank or character, as Emperors, Kinp,Prinees,Statesmen,&e.
Te Universal Historical Dictionary, will be printed uniformly
with the Technological, in Two Quarto Volinnes; and will be em-
bellished and illustrated by about Forty Gopper-plates, containing ,
nearly 800 Portraits; and by a vast number of Wood-cuts front
medals, coins, &c.
The impressions from the Copper-plates will not, at any time,
exceed the actual number of Subscribers, so that the earliest pur-
chasers will ensure the best impressions.
To the Subscribers to the Technological Dictionary, the Pub-
lishers need not make any profession on the score of punctuality;
the exactitude with which every promise with regard to that work
was kept, rendering it unnecessary : they trust that their present
pledges, as far as human power can effect it, will be redeemed with
equal good faith.
