A

PERSUASION of the Utility of a

concise History of Modern Europe
induced the Author to undertake this Work:
and he has had the Satisfaction to find his
Opinion justified by that of the Public. The
Epiftolary Form was chofen, as beft calcu-
lated in tracing the Concatenation of Events,
for uniting the Accuracy of the Chronolo-
with the Entertainment of the Memo-
rialist. And the Character of a Nobleman

ger

and a Father was affumed, in order to give
more Weight to the Moral and Political
Maxims, and to entitle the Author to offer,
without feeming to dictate to the World,
fuch Reflections on Life and Manners as
are supposed more immediately to belong
to the higher Orders in Society.

To this Edition, is added a Chronologi-
cal Table of Contents.
