Also an account of all sacred books and writings; history of general and particular councils; all solemnities, rites, ceremonies, fasts, feasts, statutes, laws, plays, sports, games, habits, and utensils: in all which, (as likewise in metaphysics, theology, antiquity, grammar, rhetoric, poetry, polity, and other miscellaneous subjects,) this book is of itself entirely compleat, and more copious and extensive than any work of this kind, not excepting Mr. Chamber's Cyclopædia, of which it is a very great improvement, containing upwards of eleven hundred articles which that author has omitted; besides great additions and improvements in almost every article; and will, with Dr. Harris's two volumes, make the most useful set of books, and compleat body of arts and sciences yet extant: being carefully compiled from the best and most approved authors in several languages; enriched with many curious manuscripts, and illustrated with copper-plates. N.B. Those subjects in which Dr. Harris is any way deficient are here perfected; no trifling and insignificant words inserted, but only such as may convey some useful and entertaining knowledge to the reader; for whose further benefit and satisfaction, all the authors made use of in this work are quoted.
