This work is already well known so the Public, as a Complete
and Modern Dictionary of Arts and Sciences, anfwering every
Purpofe of Reference on all Subjects, and (erring as a Companion
to Dr Johnfon's Didionary of the Englilh Language, with which
it exadly correfponds in fize.
It is now prefented to the Public in a form adapted to the means
of the numerous Perfons to Whom it rosy no: have been agreeable
to pusehafe it in Ten Shilling Monthly Parts.or complete in Two
Volumes quarto. It may, however, be had, if detlrcd, of aft Book-
fellers In the latter forms.
After the Univcrfal Reception and Favourable Approbation
I with which this Work has been honouttd, it would be fuperflu-
ri ous to comment on its particular merits, and on its capacity to
terve all the purpofes as a Book of Refererce of the molt volumi-
nous Cyclopedia& The fize la obvioufly the belt adopted to the
general purpofcs of a Didlooary, a (pecks of Work which ought I
always to be comprifed within the finaliett poftlbte number of
Volumes, that DiOlenary being plainly an objet of Preference
for the avowed purpofsof all fuck works, which can be the molt
sadly confulted.

it may therefore be fairly 'returned that no perfon converfanc
in literary purfuits, or In the pradlice of confulting Books, will
knowingly give preference to a Didianary of uncertain merit in
numerous Nail Volumes, when one of acknowledged and tfta•
billbed credit, and equally ample in its Contents, can be procured
at Ids expense in Vivo hatsdfonie quarto., a Eze rendered legiti-
mate for fuck Works by fuemthee approved Editions of Dr John-
