A NEW and COMPENDIOUS DICTIONARY
of ARTS and SCIENCES, to be completed within the year,

month, the whole making twelve parts, or two large and elegant
quarto volumes, with one hundred copper plates.

A DICTIONAEY of ARTS and SCIENCES, in a compendi •
ous form, fuffidently copious, without being prolix, accurate but
not dilfute, divefted of all fuperSuotts matter, comprcffing ra-
ther than copying what has been done by others, and exhibiting a
clear but concife view of the preterit ftate of the various branches
of human knowledge, has long been a molt defirable objed to the
Engliffi Reader.
A Didionary is properly a work of reference, and not of detail,
and chafe who with to become adepts in any one art or fcience, wilt
fcarcely Rudy it from an Encyclopz.dia esclufively.
That a complete view of the Arts and Sciences may how-
ever be exhibited on a fntaller feale than ufually attempteJ•
will be obvious, if we confider that the 'Cyclopedia of Chamber.
was originally compelled it. two volumes folio, large and or ti
printing ; that the fiat edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannic.•
extended only to three thin volumes quarto; and that many c •
ccuent, Works of a fintilar kind, and not of a greater extent,
have been publithed in foreign countries. The retrenchment
of many fuperlitious and utelefs articles, whit% have latterly
found their way into books of this defcription, will evidently
caufe a coaderable redudion in point of lice, without In reality
impairing the intrinfic value andgencrat utility of the work.
Should, therefore, the execution not dilappoint the hopes ami
expeditions of thofc who have pwjeCted the New INClionav:
Arts and Sciences, the following arc the immediate a.lva-t.:e..
which they truft they may with reason and modetty promile to its
purchafers:
