To the ENCOURAGERS of this UNDERTAKING.

[ocr errors]

WO Years are now almoft elapsed, fince this Defign was first fet on foot, wherein there have been Six Numbers published, at the fole Expence of the Editor : And as it cannot be fuppofed, but that he must be in dif burfe on that Account, (befides his Trouble of compofing the Book, and diftributing of it Quarterly) he is perfwaded that none of his Readers would defire him to continue it under the above-mention'd Circumstances: He therefore now advertises them, that this it's probable will be the laft, except they approve of it so far as to fubfcribe towards the Expence. He defires not to gain any thing by the Undertaking, and is willing to give in his own Labour: And if there are 60 Perfons to be found, who will each fubfcribe for Half a Dozen (or more if any one pleases) every Quarter as they are published, (which will about defray the Charges of the Copper-Plate, Printing, Paper, &c.) it will be carried on as formerly. Such as are willing fo to do, may fend in their Names, and Places of Abode, drrected for the Author, to be left at Mr. THOMAS GENT'S, Printer, near the Star in Stone-Gate, YORK, Post paid, any Time before Chriftmafs next.
