 that I have gone entirely out of the line of 

 literary ambition, and defcended to the defcrip-

 more sublime and dignified practitioner, 

 undergo every poffible accufation of profef- 

 fional degradation, from v/hich I court 120 ex^ 

 culpatioriy folicit no acquittal, make no appeal, 

 but to the more deciiive and honourable opi- 

 nion of ih.Q /porting world in general, to whofe 

 encouraging partiality it is folely addreffed, and 

 to v^hofe confideration and particular ufe it is 

 ir^oft refpclfully fubmitted.
