 large foho, by the Reverend William 

 Huddesford, of Trinity College, Oxford, 

 and Keeper of the Afhmolean Mufeum. 

 I wi(h I could add more, than that the 

 public is indebted to the late learned 

 editor for the republication, as Lifter's 

 work is become fo fcarce ; but the indexes 

 and other additions are very trivial, and 

 there are alfo errors and inaccuracies in it 

 which do no honour to Lifter's memory,

 copies of the old editions of Lifter, and on 

 a collation of numbers of his proof prints 

 difperfed among the curious by Dr. Lifter 

 himfelf, before the names or numbers ou 

 the plates were added to complete the

 the print colleftors ftile z\in'^fhns, will
