awed not only of the uniturmity and punctuality of its appear-
awe, but also ua its completion within the prescribed limits, on
the entirely vew ground of its digested Plan : to which therefore '
prinituiar attention is requested.

Mr object proposed in the Plan of this Encyclopaedia, is to
smite more perfectly than lus hitherto been attempted, the ad-
vantages of a scientific arrangement of knowledge, with the con-
vadeuccs of an alphabetical Repertory. As a book of constant
reference amongst all classes of tie community, its daily useful-
ness, it is presumed, will be facilitated by the certainty of finding
all things in their right places, and, generally, each thing at once;
while for the purposes of Instruction, and the connected pursuit
or scientific knowledge, the decided superiority of a philosophical
division of the beiCtICCS, must be obvious to every reflecting mind.
The Work, in its first two divi.ions, will be found to contain
leery portion of human knowledge, aid every principle of hu-
man conduct, lan its natural position amongst firm principles,
and in its collection with other sciences—tben in its application
to all the purposes of life. be Biographical, or third division of
the Work, proposes to unite two original advantages—so Biography
of the eminent men of all countries, chronologically arranged;
and the far larger twatlon of History, in the engaging vertu el
Biography. The Alphabetical and Lexicographical Miscellany,
which constitutes the fourth division, will contain'
every num-. ,
tifit teem in Its usual alphabetical position in other Encyclopsb•
his, with a direct reference to its place in this; a complete:GlP
:carer, accompanied with coereopundiug Maps and Charts; many
particular and local iatistratinus of scietice that will admit of no
other classifiCation ; and every authentic Word in the Bugliats
Language, supported by its authority. An extensive verbal Isl.
des, which will be prepared frown every sheet at it mica*, will
be published hi one volume at the close of the Work.
it is evident, that under studs an urangsnaeut, the reader will
be able to find every thing prominent in the Aria and *Maces
