EDINBURGH: PRISTED FOR J. SPOTTISWOOD, BooxSELi As то тНЕ PUBL LÍ C. . the defign of every Publication of this kind is to give a complete account of the different countries defcribed, fo far at leath as it is poffible to do from the difcoveries of travellers and navigators; it is hoped, that in the perufal of the following fheets, the Reader in this view will not be difappointed. Every publication of the kind that hath hitherto appeared has been confulted upon this occafion: And as no performance on any fubject is either fo abfolutely perfect as to be entirely with out defect, or fo totally defpicable as that nothing valuable can be extracted from it; by collecting what was of the greatest importance, and rejecting thofe parts which feemed more trifling, from other publications of the fame nature, it hath been ftudied to make the prefent Grammar the most complete, as well for Inftruction as Entertainment, of any hitherto extant; and in every refpect to deferve the title of, The UNIVERSAL GIOGRAPHICAL GRAM МАН. It would be impertinent to expatiate in the praise of a performance the true merit of which every Reader must determine for mfelf. It is hoped, however, that the candid Reader will excate the obfervation of any inaccuracy in Mr Salmon, who, though he in the Preface to his Grammar, declared that he was more particular in his defcription of the British Isles than any etter part of the world, yet in his account of Scotland he is accountably deficient: His deficiencies in this refpect have been fupplied; and it hath also been ftudied to render the Hiftorical part complete to the prefent time, efpecially with regard to America: and as the war with the Colonies is, perhaps, an event of greater importance to this country than any recorded hiftory, it is hoped, that an accurate account of it will render this Work truly valuable to the Public in general. That nothing might be wanting towards the rendering of this Grammar as complete as poffible, a defcription is added of the d's in the South-Sea difcovered by the late Voyagers, alfo a new Chronological Table of remarkable events, inventions, and difcoveries. The PUBLISHER. This GRAMMAR contains One hundred and fixty pages, or Ten Sheetsy re than any Geographical Grammar ever printed in this kingdom. DIRECTIONS to the BINDER for placing the MAPS.
