SHORTLY WILL BE PUBLISHED, 
A. CONCISE PRODKOMUS of the British Minerals in Mr. Sowerby's 
Cabinet, as a Sort of Essay towards a New, Natural, and Easy Ar- 
rangement, v\ith References to the Author's BRITISH MINERALOGY, 
made for the Use of those who will find British Mineralogy more useful for a 
Library than a Travelling Book. Mr. Sowerby having found no consistent 
reason, generally speaking, for the Foundation of any former System, pre- 
sumes to offer this, rather to learn the Sentiments of the Public on such a 
System, allowing for Errors, which he hopes to have corrected by iheir Dis- 
cernment. In his more extensive Application, Mr. Sowerby thinks a good 
Arrangement may much facilitate this useful Foundation of every Branch of 
Knowledge.
