Présentation de l'éditeur

Honoured Sir. IS end you this imperfect draught ofyour excellent Effay concerning Human Underfunding; which, I mufr confefs, falls as much fliort of the Perfection, as it does of the length of the original. Neverthelefs, as I lately intimated to you (and you were pleafed to think, that what I propos din reference to this Defign, would not be wholly loft Labour) I am not without Hopes, that it may in this contracted Form, prove in fome Meafure ferviceable to that noble End, which you have fo fuccefsfully aimed at in it, viz. The Advancement of Real and ufeful Kno-xledge. The Inducement which moved me to think of abridging it, was a Confideration purely extrinfical to the Work itfelf; and in effect no other than this; that it would be better fuited to the Eafe and Convenience of fome fort of Readers, when reduced into this narrow Compafs.
