AN HISTORICAL ACCOUNT OF ALL INVEN- 

 TIONS AND DISCOVERIES IN THOSE ARTS, 

 SCIENCES, &c. that are of Utility or Ornament to Man, 

 lend Assistance to human Comfort, a Polish to Life, 

 and render the civilized State of the Species, beyond 'Com- 

 parison, preferable to a State of Nature ; traced from their 

 Origin : with every subsequent Improvement, down to the 

 present Period. By J. F. LAKE WILLIAMS, Student in 

 Hierophancy, Ancient and Modern Languages, and the 

 Sciences. This Work will be discovered to be divided into 

 three different epochas, of about 2,000 years each. The 

 first comprehends those Arts, Sciences, &c. which were ei- 

 ther found to exist during that, the most ancient of Periods ; 

 and which were practically essential to human life, or which, 

 during that period, were actually introduced. It embraces 

 those Arts, &c. of Necessity, Utility, &c. which could not 

 be dispensed with by primeval Society. The second Epoch 

 takes in all those which the Ancients brought to greater 

 Perfection than they have been since found to attain ; com- 

 prehending those produced by the most accomplished of the 

 Egyptian, Grecian, and Asiatic Nations : an especial Re- 

 gard being had to those found to be produced within this 

 order of time. And the third comprises all those not found 

 in the former two.
