CHARLES BULFINCH, Sec'ry
The following character of the above work,
is given in the Review of the Majjachufetts Ma
gazine * for Jan. 1793 :
" This is a very ufeful work, end is no ill
proof of the judgment and industry of the author.
The rules are laid down with propriety, and
the ex.imph s anm xed are fufficient for their il
luflration. One part of the work defc rvrs par
ticular commendation. We mean that which
the author ft ilea " Mercantile Arithmetic " It
occupies a confidcrable portion of his book, but
not more than its importance will juftify. We
would recommend to the young Arithmetician
to pay a particular attention to this branch.
He wijl find its principles well explained And
should he make himfclf ntafter of them, he will
always have reason to acknowledge his obliga
tion to the judicious and laborious author. We
cannot but congratulate the riling generation on
account of the many ufeful produ&ions which
have lately appeared ; and in which their im
provement has been principally consulted.—-
Among those produft'.ons we mult place this
trcatife of Arithmetic. We should be wanting
in justice to the author, should we not acknow
h dge that his work is in reality that which its
title imports—The Pr ecbpior's
or Student's Guide."

TO THE PUBLIC
THE Author is sensible that the firft edition
of his American Geography (which makes Part
I. of the above work) was in many instances de
fe£live, in others erroneous, and in fomeoffen
five. It has been his endeavour, as it was his
desire, in the present edition, to supply the defi
ciencies, corrcft the errors, and meliorate the
offenfive parts of the last. To aflilt him in this
business, he has received many valuable commu
nications from the heads of departments in the
general government, and from gentlemen of re
fpeftability in the feveial states. The descrip
tion of foreign countries (which compofcs Part
11. of the above work] has been carefully com
piled from the mod approved writers on Geo
graphy, and ufeful information introduced from
the difcoverics of the latest Navigators, Travel
lers, and rcfpe&able authors. Indeed, no pains
nor expenfc have been spared to render this wot k
the mod complete, accurate, and ufeful of any
ever offered to the public.
