POSTSCRIPT.

It is the intention of the Editors, as mentioned in the Preface, to pursue their design; and, should sufficient encouragement appear, to publish a Second Volume, in the course of the next two years. —Many disappointments, the ill health of one of the Editors, and other circumstances, too complicated and painful to mention, have contributed to render their part of this Work less perfect than their expectations, and promises. They intend to finish the succeeding Volume, or Volumes, in a more elegant manner; and, if a second edition of the present volume should be called for, it is their further intention to make it equal, in beauty, to the others; to all of which suitable, and well-executed decorations shall be added.
