THE GENTLEMAN'S LIBRARY: CONTAINING RULES for CONDUCT IN ALL PARTS of LIFE. THE FOURTH EDITION. Written by a GENTLEMAN, Purpureus laté qui fplendeat, unus, & alter HOR. LONDON: Printed for S. BIRT, at the Bible and Ball in Ave-Mary-Lane; and D. BROWNE, at the Black Swan without Temple-Bar. M DCC XLIV. I Na Book that has not a Dedication prefix'd, there is a fort of Ne cessity of a Preface; because it looks odd to skip from a TitlePage, to an Introduction. However, I did not alone confult that Part of Decency in my Reasons for this Preface, but penned it, with regard that I thought fomething ought to be faid on the Work in general. |
