the undisguised and, to myself, alarming truth, that, from not being the most rigid œconomist in the world, or the moft accurate of calculators, I had myself formed but very inadequate conceptions concerning the total expenses that would be incurred by fuch a work; that when he shall pay the amount of this book, as fixed above, he will scarcely lay down the value of the maps and engravings that illuftrate it, and that, from the fale of fingle volumes only, unless the work collectively fhould meet with the good fortune to have an extenfive fale, no poffible compenfation will arife to the author for many hours of literary toil confumed by the midnight lamp; for very confiderable Property expended upon the completion of it; and Health deeply, if not irretrievably, injured. During the still farther, but unavoidable, delay in publication, caused by the maps and engravings above-enumerated, a few highly refpectable fubfcribers have been added to the Lift, previously given; and I am proud to fubjoin to that lift, names fo exalted by noble birth, and private virtue, as His Grace the DUKE of MONTROSE, and the Right Hon. the EARL OF WINCHELSEA; SIR JOSEPH BANKS, Bart. Prefident of the Royal Society, who, amidst amidst his other numerous and more important engagements, has condefcended to notice this infant undertaking; ROBERT DALLAS, Efq. who, together with his colleague in a caufe of great celebrity, THOMAS PLUMER, Efq. has shewn the moft decided and liberal patronage of the History of a Nation with whose policy and manners the records of Westminster-Hall will bear eternal teftimony to their intimate and extenfive acquaintance-SAMUEL BEACHCROFT, and WILLIAM TOD, Efquires, who, deservedly eminent as they are in the mercantile world, have evinced in this inftance no lefs zeal to promote the advancement of British Literature, than, on other occafions, to forward the interefts of British Commerce. To these I gratefully annex the names of JOHN PENN, Efq. MATTHEWS BEACHCROFT, Efq. the Rev. PHILIP FISHER, A. M.; WILLIAM COWLING, Efq. of Chambers, Effex; JOHN GROVE, Efq. Captain CHARLES HUGHES, of the Royal Navy, and of Friday-hill House, in Effex; the Rev. THOMAS CRAWLEY, A. M. Mr. THOMAS CALDWALD, Jun. JOHN MIDDLEDITCH, Efq. and FRANCIS BURROWS, Efq.
