"For the maturity of the plan, the public are indebted to the communication of several learned men, who have ... given rise to many new ideas: and though much delay has, in consequence, taken place since the publisher's advertisement of May 1815, yet the benefit resulting will prove an abundant recompence. The whole work is now so completely changed and improved, that the publisher thinks it right to state that the advertisement of May 1815 does not at all delineate his design, and therefore wishes to substitute this in its stead."

Bound as no. 66 in v.1 of a 7-volume set of early 19th-century publisher's catalogs and prospectuses with binder's title "Bibliographical notices".
