Excerpt from Selectæ e Profanis Scriptoribus Historiæ: Quibus Admista Sunt Varia Honeste Vivendi Præcepta, Ex Iisdem Scriptoribus Deprompta
The approbatio'n with which the world has eeived my little Latin collection of select stories from Old Testament, has determined the to present it wi second collection from profane authors, together with some of their moral precepts. My design has been, in; both, to put into the hands of children, and others that 'begin to learn the Latin tongue, some little pieces, that might be easy to understand, and at the same time might improve their morale. No doubt can be made but that the Holy Scriptures afl'ord ns those advantages, which - is the reason probably, that has induced so many masters, both in a public and private character, to make their scholars read that collection.
