Sir John Hobart, Baronet.

SIR,

As

S your kind Acceptance of my former Book has encouraged me to prefent you with the Second, fo your Academical Education and aufpicious Improvements fince your Perufal of that have (I doubt not) well difpofed you for reading this, not only with an equal Candor, but with the more distinguishing Tafte of a maturer Judgment. And tho' the Counsel here given be not nicely prepared for delicate Palates, that can relifh nothing of this nature, unless compofed with the elegant Seafoning of fome ingenious Dialogue, or witty Poem, or diverting Romance, that may have a Tincture of Sport and Facetioufnefs, to fuit the Humour of the Age we live in, yet 'tis hoped it will meet with fome Readers befides your felf whom neither the Brisknefs of Youth, nor the Splendor and Affluence of worldly Profperity, has rendred wholly averfe to fuch plain and faithful Monitions as are of great Importance to their prefent and future Happiness.
