IN presenting a second and much enlarged edition of this work to the public, the writer cannot omit to express his acknowledgments for the favourable recep tion experienced by the first not only from the periodi cal censors of literature who assume to guide the public taste, but from the private testimonies of approbation afforded by persons of the very first consideration and talents in the country, whose Opinions would seem to be confirmed by the sale of a large impression of the work in no very considerable space of time.
