 On the outside of the hack cover is the following "Advertisement " : 

 " It will be perceived from our Prospectus, that we have not 

 pledged ourselves to give a portion of the Letter-press in every Part ; 

 for as we intend the Descriptions should follow in systematic order, 

 this, under the form we have printed it, would be impossible. Our 

 Subscribers will not, however, suffer beyond a little delay; for after 

 a few Parts are published, they will find that all the Plates will be 

 described, though the Descriptions will not accompany the contents of 

 each particular Part."
