PREFACE. 



ragers of this undertaking, we choofe rather 

 to poftpone it, than to give an imperfect 

 one : at the fame time we allure the public, 

 that it (hall certainly appear in one of the 

 fubfequent volumes. 



We find it neceffary here to mention, 

 that as many articles in Mr. Kalms travels 

 required illuitrations, the publiiher has taken 

 the liberty to join here and there fome notes, 

 which are marked at the end with F. The 

 other notes not thus marked were kindly 

 communicated by the publifher's friends. 



Lastly, we take this opportunity to 

 return our moft fincere thanks in this pub- 

 lic manner to the ladies and gentlemen, 

 who have generouily in various ways exert- 

 ed themfelves in promoting the publication 

 of thefe ufeful remarks of an impartial, ac- 

 curate and judicious foreigner, on a country 

 which is at prefent fo much the object of 

 public deliberation and private converfation.
