To the Proprietors of the UNIVERSAL MAGAZINE.
GENTLEMEN,
London, Jan. 12, 1749.
I have had the honour to be Tutor to many promising Youths, some of which
are already launched into the World by various Channels; and with much
Secret Pleasure I write it, many of them shine in their respective Stations.
And, if 1 account myself an Instrument in their Success, and the Good they
promote, I hope it will be allowed; I, who took so much Pains in their
Education, from their earliest Years, and flatter myself with the defired
Success, must, from fuch an Employment myself, have acquired the most pro-
per Method of Instruction. And I have found none better to impress Wif-
dom and Knowledge, than by the Way of Dialogue : this habituates the Learner
to discourse more readily upon a Subject, as it in a more particular Manner
fits him for Conversation. I have now digested my Dialogues into one Bodv, un-
der the Title of, The HISTORY of ALL NATIONS, both an-
cient and modern; defcribing their respective Foundations, Divifions, Si-
tuations, Inhabitants, Buildings, Manners, Laws, Customs, Religion, Policy,
Arts and Sciences, Trades, Manufactures, Husbandry, Plants, Animals, Mi-
nerals, and whatever else is worthy of our Knowledge. I have also added
