ADVERTISEMENT. TH HE very rapid and extenfive fale of the first two volumes of this Work has fully confirmed the Editor's opinion that such a publication was much wanted, and induced him to believe, that, fo long as it fhall be conducted with judgment and impartiality, it will continue to be honoured with the patronage of the Public. The Reader is refpectfully affured, that no political bias has, in any one infance, affected the conduct of this Volume. Wit or humour, found fenfe or juft fatire, have always fecured infertion to an article, without any regard to the party which it feemed defigned to favour. If it be found, that the majority of the political papers are still on the anti-ministerial fide, it must be attributed to the caufe affigned in the Preface to the Second Volume; namely, the paucity of articles poffeffing the requifite qualifications, that have appeared in what are called the Government Journals. It will not, however, efcape notice, that the contents of this Third Volume are of a more miscellaneous nature than those of the preceding: a circumftance which, it is believed, will render the Work more extenfively interefting.
