But it would be injuftice to the Publick to fupprefs all future Improvement, rather than offend the firft Buyers. Our Customers therefore we hope, will pardon Us, if the many Additions in this Edition do depretiate the former. The Quantity of this is more, but the Quality of that is the fame: For the the Author found it neceffary to add Paragraphs very frequently, and whole Chapters fometimes. He did not write at firft with fo little Thought mendments excepted. And therefore the Poffeffors of the former Edition cannot think themselves abused. The Author was very defirous of having the Additions Printed by themselves; but the number of 'em, and their being interfpers'd in every Page, render'd that impracticable. He has now fet the laft Hand to it, and we hope it is fo Compleat as to need no more Improvement. AWord more in relation to the Latin Edition of this Work printed in Holland, the Publisher of which pretends it was Corrected by the Author; but that being quite otherwife, we must take this Opportunity to let the World know, that the Author never faw it till it was all Printed; and therefore the many Errors found in it must not be imputed to Him.
