To that end, he has diligently felefted every obfervation and remark, that can poffibly improve or inform the mind, within the rules of morality ;and where there feemed a dertciency in any part of the fyftem, from the occafional chafms in Lord Chefterfield scorrefpondence, he has endeavoured to fupply it.
