This Consideration has induced several Gentlemen to promote a Monthly Collection, to treasure up, as in a Magazine, the most remarkable Pieces on the Subjects abovemention’d, or at least impartial Abridgments thereof, as a Method much better calculated to preserve those Things that are curious, than that of transcribing.
In pursuance whereof, and the great Encouragement already given, this Work will be regularly continued, shall appear earlier, and contain more than any other Monthly Book of the same Price.
As all possible Care will be taken to avoid the Mistakes incident to undertakings of this kind, so the Author will think himself oblig’d to such Persons who shall give him a true state of any Transaction erroneously publish’d in the Papers, or shall please to communicate any Pieces of Wit or Entertainment proper to be inserted; directing for him at the Printer’s at St. John’s Gate, near Hicks’s-Hall, where any Persons sending proper Orders, may have the Numbers sent them, at their first coming out, without further Trouble, whether in Town or Country.
