THIS work having come to ^fourth edition in a few years, 

 evinces its favourable reception by the public ; and though 

 the author trufts it will continue to recommend itfelf to 

 thofe who are acquainted with it, he thinks it is but doing 

 himfelf juftice, and may promote the fale of the book, by 

 republifliing the following sanctions as they occurred.
