duftry to clear this edition from all the defects of the former, fo far as fuggefted by others, or discovered by himself. In a work containing many particulars, both new and abftrufe, it, was difficult to express every article with fufficient perfpicuity; and, after all the pains beftowed, there remained certain paffages which are generally thought obfcure. The author, giving an attentive ear to every cenfure of that kind, has, in the prefent edition, renewed his efforts to correct every defect; and he would gladly hope that he has not been altogether unfuccefsful. The truth is, that a writer, who must be poffeffed of the thought before he can put it into words, is but ill qualified to judge whether the expreffion be fufficiently clear to others in that particular, he cannot avoid the taking on him to judge for the reader, who can much better judge for himself.
