    [ « ] the PREFACE. IN the laft page of the Treatife of Logic which I publithed many years ago, it is obferved, that there are feveral other things which might affift the cultivation of the mind, and its improvement in knowledge, which are not ufually reprefented among the principles or precepts of that art or fcience. Thefe are the fubjeCts which comoofe this book; thefe are the fenti- ments and rules, many of which I had tnen in view, and which I now venture into pub- lic light. The prefent Treatife, if it may affume the honour of that name, is made up of a variety of remarks and directions for the improvement of the mind in ufeful know- ledge. It was collected from the obfer va- rious which I had made on my own ftudies.
