Description
ADVERTISEMENT.
The Writer of the following interesting Narratives, would have indulged his inclination of laying them before the Public, immediately after the events had taken place, ( the several curious particulars of which are therein recorded ) but they having been at that time honoured with the attention of Sir Joseph Banks, President of the Royal Society, who was pleased to think them worthy of being read before that illustrious Body ; on which account, he thought it his duty to submit them first to their inspection, that they might afterwards be ushered into the world under the sanction of those distinguished Judges and Patrons of philosophical Discoveries and Experiments.
A circumstance to flattering to the author, will, he hopes, be considered as a proper apology for retarding the publication ; especially, as the Manuscript was but lately returned to him ; it having remained much longer than he expected in the hands of the Royal Society ; and the Engravings annexed, could not be earlier completed.
