It is hoped that no part of this work 

 will be found objectionable, as the principal 

 study of the Compiler] has been to render 

 it acceptable to all classes, and to fulfil his 

 engagement with his liberal friends and pa- 

 tronisers, to the utmost of his ability. Should 

 it meet with an encouragement to demand 

 an enlargement, he will consider it the 

 proudest day of his life, when he sets about 

 correcting and improving his first work : to 

 make it more worthy attention, on this ac- 

 count, he solicits from the Public such in- 

 formation as may have escaped his notice.
