xvi PREFACE. 



ragers of this undertaking, we choofe rather 

 to poftpone it, than to give an imperfedt 

 one : at the fame time we aflure the public, 

 that it fhall certainly appear in one of the 

 fubfequent volumes. 



We find it neceiTary here to mention, 

 that as many articles in Mr. Kalm^ travels 

 required illuilrations, the publifher has taken 

 the liberty to join here and there fome notes, 

 which are marked at the end with F. The 

 other notes not thus marked were kindly 

 communicated by the publifher's friends. 



Lastly, we take this opportunity to 

 return our mod lincere thanks in this pub- 

 lic manner to the ladies and gentlemen, 

 who have generoufly in various ways exert- 

 ed themfelves in promoting the publication. 

 of thefe ufeful remarks of an impartial, ac- 

 curate and judicious foreigner, on a country 

 which is at prefent fo much the objed: of 

 public deliberation and private converfation.
