fuchj for his own ufe, as faft as the volumes were publifhedj but 

 to give them a fjfficicnt revifalj fo as to merit the public infpec- 

 tion-j would, perhaps, require more time than he has immedi- 

 ately in his power to fpare for the purpofe. 



For the prefent, he will only add moft fincere thanks to his 

 former friends for the continuation of their affiftance, as well as 

 to thofe feverally mentioned in the prefent Supplement, who have 

 contributed theirs, and by whofe means he has been enabled to 

 add defcriptions of many new and curious fubjedls. Rejoicing 

 not a little to have at laft finifhed his promifed tafk, he wiflies 

 nothing more than to find hereafter, that his well-intended 

 labours may be received by the Public with its former can- 

 dour.
