ADVERTISEMENT.

THE author is forry to find himself under the neceffity of finishing this fecond part, as he did the firft, with fome apology to the fubfcribers for the delay of it's publication, beyond the time proposed One cause of this delay, was the unexpected increase of interesting matter which the reader will find, by looking into the Appendix, must have been excluded, had the work been published fooner. For fome other valuable information he has waited, and he is forry to add, too much in vain. He alludes particulary to the journal of Mr. Watt and Mr. Winterbottom, when they penetrated to the capital of the Foulahs, in 1794. The perusal of this important document was promised to the author by several of the Directors. But, he presumes, unavoidable causes have prevented them from favouring him with this communication. It's interefting nature, he hopes, will justify his waiting thus long; but the attention he owes to his respectable subscribers forbids him to wait any longer.

Having mentioned the communication of papers, he hopes he may be permitted to observe, that, from what he has understood, a monthly publication, containing all the intelligence received by the fuperintendants of colonial undertakings in Africa, in it's original form and words, would be extremely acceptable to many or moft of the Proprietors; not to mention numbers of other perfons who wish to extend their imperfect knowledge of Africa.

The increased fize and expense of the work, will account for the increase of the price to non-fubfcribers. The sketch of the Sierra Leona harbour, published in the laft report of the Directors, did not come into the author's hands, till he had had an engraving of it executed from other authorities. But confidering that of the Directors as the most authentic, and having been favoured with fome additional improvements, the author had the first engraving erazed from the plate, and the prefentone subfituted in it's place. This unforeseen expenfe, however, was trifling, compared with that of inferting a circumftantial abridgment of the 2d interefting, but unexpectedly voluminous, Report of the S. Leona Directors, together with the recent matter, and the notes therewith connected. In short, non fubfcribers cannot be furprized at the increase of price to them, when they are informed that inftead of 30 or 35 fheets of middle-fized print, the acceffion of unexpected, but important matter, has fwelled the work to nearly 80 sheets, a great part printed with small types.

The increase of the work, while paffing through the prefs, will not be supposed favourable to that cool and cautious research which is fo necessary to preclude very
