Tar. Work now presented to the public has long been in repute as a standard treatise of Universal History, the occupation and pursuits Of the learned author having rendered him peculiarly fitted for the performance. It was first published in 1801, and from that period to 1813 (the year of the author's decease), it passed through no less than six editions, all Of them enriched by his personal revisal and correction. Since his decease the work has deservedly increased in public estimation, and has been frequently re-published.
To the present edition some necessary additions to the original text have been made, and some remarkable typographical errors corrected. A series of illustrative notes and a continua tion Of the modern history has also been appended.
