vi PREFACE. 



to which I refer the curious, will be found properly 

 fpelt the names of men and things. — Let it however 

 not be underfliood, that I ever laid claim to excellence 

 in writing or drawing ; but if the plain and manly 

 TRUTH, fo often fpoken of, and fo feldom found, 

 are of any avail — I prefume to hope, that thefe Vo- 

 lumes are not entirely unworthy the attention of a 

 British Public.
