called the difcovery of the diftant European countries, will, with other in-
troduétory matter at prefent neceffarily deferred, be given in the laft
volume.
The next divifion of this Collection will contain the account of tra-
vellers that relate to Afia, which will alfo be publifhed feparately as foon as
it can be completed, without waiting for the regular courfe of monthly
delivery. The remainder of the work, containing the defcriptions of
Africa and America, will be brought forward in fimilar detached portions,
for the accommodation of Perfons who may prefer this mode of publica-
tion. The publication in monthly parts will, however, be continued as
before.
In a work of this defcription it muft always be difficult, at its commence-
ment, to eftimate, with any certainty, the extent to which it may proceed,
This difficulty the Editor and Publifhers have felt in the prefent under-
taking. In their Profpectus they expreffed a hope that their Collection
might be comprifed in ten or twelve Volumes ; but they now find, from the
vaft mafs of valuable materials, which have offered themfelves for felec-
tion, that they cannot, without injuring the utility and intereft of their
Work, by the omiffion of fome, and the abridgement of other important
documents, calculate upon completing it in lefs than fixteen Volumes,
They announce this with the lefs regret, on account of the general appro-
bation with which their Plan has been received.
