THE PREFACE
It is not doubted but the candid Reader will find the following Book in correspondence with the title, which will supersede the necessity of any other recommendation that might be given it.
As the complier of it engaged in the undertaking at the instance and importunity of many persons of eminent account and distinction, so she can truly assure them, and the world, that she has acquitted herself with the utmost care and fidelity.
And she entertains the greater hopes that her performance will meet with the kinder acceptance, because of the good opinion she has been held in by those, her ever honour’d friends, who first excited her to the publication of her Book, and who have been long eye-witnesses of her skill and behaviour in the business of her calling.
She has nothing to add, but her humblest thanks to them, and to all others with whom she has received favour and encouragement.
