Book Description
Excerpt from Selection of the Curious Articles, Vol. 1 of 4: From the Gentleman's Magazine; Researches, Historical and Antiquarian All matters of a temporary nature are omitted. The Editor has found it necessary to use great caution with respect to the articles in biography and topo graphy; for many of the former are written in a hasty manner, and, though'curiousras detached notices and memoranda while remaining in'their original state, are scarcely worth reprinting: many of the latter, to say the least of them, are of very doubtful authority. These observations are applicable to the omission of many of those on other subjects. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
