That I have not been a fpeaator only of the incidents of this age, every man of bufinefi will difcern by internal evidence-That I am not an Author by. profeffion, will be perceived by the loweit retainer of periodical criticih-My great objeQ is, to roufe latent principles in a mind I think excellent, which has been negleaed, or mifled with defign.
