To the PUBLIC.

THE Intent of this Work is to give a clear and methodical System of the Polite Arts, for the Use of Schools, and to such Children and Youth as are desirous of attaining them without the Affiftance of a Mafter. We shall, therefore, begin with the moft simple Examples and Inſtructions, giving the Outlines of all the Parts of the Human Body; likewife, of Flowers, Animals, Landscapes, &c. leading them thro' the whole Art of Design, till they are capable of forming a complete Piece. For accomplifhing this Purpose, we shall give the Outlines of each Subject, with Inſtruction for each LESSON. Each Number will contain four Copper Plates of Outlines, with the moſt simple and eafy Inſtructions, at the ſmall Price of Two-pence only; comprehending as great a Variety of Examples, and as much genuine Inſtruction in the Arts, as other Works that are fold at One Shilling each Number. We shall endeavour to collect into one Point of View, all the diffufe Declamation which has been delivered on the Arts in large and tedious Works; thus paving the Way to the Acquifition of the Arts, and preſenting our young Pupils with Information that they must otherwise attain at a great Expence, and require a great Part of their Time to perufe and digest. Whereas, the young Pupils, by purchasing a Number of this Work monthly, will, if they are induftrious, become maſters of the Whole, both in Theory and Practice, and arrive, with Eafe and Pleafure, in a ſhort Space, and at a very little Expence, to be complete Proficients.

We, likewife, flatter ourselves, that this Work, in the Manner, in which it will be conducted, will convey a moſt eſtential Information, and be of great Use, not only to Children and Youth, but likewife to Profeffors and Practitioners, in the ſeveral Arts and Trades beforementioned; viz. Drawing Maſters, Painters, Engravers, Copper-plate Printers, Statuaries, ArchitECTS, Picture Frame Makers, Carvers and Gilders in Wood and Stone, Cutters in Wood, Bookbinders, Ladies that Work Flowers and Deſigns in Silk, Filigree Workers, &c. and to all such as would Practice them for their own Amuſement. The Whole to be completed in Thirty-Six Two-penny Numbers; which beſides a great Number of Copper Plates, will contain the Subſtance of many expenſive Volumes, the whole of which will amount to only Six Shillings; which Sum will paid at the ſmall Pittance of only Two-pence a Month, a Sum which the meanest School Boy and Girl will be able to procure.
