tions, the difficulty and expence of access to offices, the defect of information from the unskilfulness and incuriousness of some correspondents; which circumstances duly weighed, certainly no candid person need be pre-admonished to make favourable allowance; especially if they consider that an undertaking of this kind would more properly have been the province of an Ecclesiastick than of a Layman, who chiefly attempts it for want of others engaging therein; without any private end or interest, but only to present things impartially, according to the best of his judgment and information."

* "Mr. Breval intends soon to publish a new Volume of his Travels, which he has made since the year 1723, during a course of four years, in two volumes folio, upon large Genoa paper (the same with his Remarks formerly published) with upwards of forty copper-plates, engraved by the best masters. This work (among many other new observations in Italy, Germany, &c.) will contain a Tour round Sicily in 1725; with very accurate drawings of, and dissertations upon, the Grecian remains at Gergenti (the old Agrigentum), Syracuse, Taermina (the old Naxos), and Salinuntum, which is the largest ruin in all Europe. As also a complete Survey of the Southern parts of France; with exact views of the Arch and Theatre of Orange, the Mausoleum of St. Remi in Provence (and their Bas-reliefs), the Pont de Gar, Temple of Diana, and Tour-magne at Nismes, and the Theatre of Bourdeaux; some of which have never been published at all, and others at best very imperfectly. The price to Subscribers is two guineas; one to be paid in hand. Proposals are to be had at Mr. Lintot's, in Fleet-street; where Subscriptions are taken in for the Author; who is ready, if desired, to shew any Subscriber his original drawings and sketches.-N. B. The Author will revise the sheets himself; which, as he was not able to do when his Remarks were published (being then abroad), occasioned many mistakes." Republick of Letters, May 1729, p. 391.
