I

DUKE and EARL of

NORTHUMBERLAND.

MY LORD,

AM well aware how prefumptive the world will think me in being defirous of having the name of one of Your illuftrious rank, and univerfally confeffed abilities in every branch of literature, prefixed to the performance which I now have the honour to present to Your Grace: Yet I hope it will do me justice, and not think that I am weak enough, in fo doing, to have the vanity to suppose I had

any

(iv)

any thing to offer in this work unknown to Your Grace. But if the work have any merit in itself, and may be of any ufe to thofe lefs converfant in the liberal arts and fciences than Your Grace, my intention, I hope, will fully apologize for my ambition. For Your name, I am convinced, will attract the attention of many, who might not other wife look into the work; and fhould fuch receive any benefit or advantage from the perufal of it, I am fure, Your Grace will feel that fatisfaction which none but the real Patrons of the fcientific arts, and who have the real Intereft and Love of their Country truly at heart, can feel.

To acknowledge Obligations which it is an Honour to have received, would still carry with it the appearance of Greater Ambition; and an attempt to defcribe thofe Virtues and Perfections which Your Grace's Public Works and Public Services have rendered fo confpicuous, would be a Weaknefs indeed!

Permit me, then, humbly to affure Your Grace, that I have and fhall ever retain the moft grateful fenfe of the Favours and Honour done me; and that I am,

With the profoundest Refpect,

YOUR GRACE's

Moft obedient and

Moft devoted humble Servant,

CHARLES HUTTON.
