the following Extract from the Preface, written by Mr.
Brand so long ago u 1793, will best explain the iatention of the
present work.
" In the year 1777, I republished Bourne's Antigultates Vol-
gares, a little work on this subject, which then had hecome ex-
ceedingly Scarce and sold very high, making observations on each
of his chapters, and throwing the new discoveries into an appen-
sax at the end. That volume too, by those who have mistaken
accident for merit, is now marked in catalogues at more than
shnible its original price. In the following work I have been ad-
vised to dissolve amicably the literary partnership under the firm
of Bourne and Brand, and to adopt a very different plan, pre-
senting to the public a collection, which, not only from the im-
mense variety of fresh matter, but also from the totally different
arrangement of the subjects, I flatter myself I may with equal
trutn and pro?riety venture to deno.ninate.an entirely new nut.'

Is drawn from real practice in the various branches of Trade, and
