Six editions of this work having been publish- 

 ed in England, and the constant orders for its 

 importation in this country, notwithstanding its 

 high price, together with the earnest solicitation 

 of many friends, has induced the pubHsher to 

 present it in a new form before the American 

 public, fully satisfied that the work will afford 

 enough of novelty and interest to amuse, as 

 well as instruct those who may give it a 



perusal.
