 to the tafte and critical inquiries of the intel- 

 ligent and enlightened reader than the caprice 

 of the prejudiced vulgar, I fhall be more 

 anxious to obtain the approbation of the ju- 

 dicious by a minute and explanatory invefti- 

 gation, than the fandtion of the multitude by 

 fuch a fuperficial account as would beft come 

 into compatft with the ftandard of their com- 

 prehenfion.
