The following Work contains the Outlines of a course of Lectures on General History, delivered for many years in the University of Edinburgh, and received with a portion of the, public approbation amply sufficient to compensate the labours of the Author. He began to compose these Elements prin cipally with the view 0 furnishing an aid to the students at; tending those Lectures but soon conceived, that by giving a little more amplitude-to their composition, he might render the Work of more general utility. As now given to the Pub lic, he would willingly flatter himelf. It may be not only ser viceable to Youth, in furnishing a regular plan for the prose cation of this most important Study, but useful even to those. Who have acquired a competent knowledge of General Bism ry from the perusal of the Works of detached Historians, and who wish to methodize that knowledge, or even to refresh their memory on material facts and the order of events.
