THE Translation of this venerable Piece of Antiquity is undertook
upon a double Score; being designed as well to entertain the
Curiosity of the Learned, as to supply the Defects of the Ignorant.
If the original Language would have been more acceptable to the
one, it would have been less intelligible to the other. I cannot,
without uttering a Falsity, venture to affirm that so singular and
valuable a Piece will be made Public, at least as yet: And in the
mean Time I shall flatter myself, that this little Essay may
contribute in some sort or other to the diversion, if not
Instruction, of People in every Condition of Life. If this is well
received, the other Parts will make their Appearance at proper
Distances of Time. I publish no more at present, because I would
not be thought to impose too much upon any one's Patience; as for
losing my own Labour, I am under no bad Apprehensions about that;
for the Reader cannot reject with a greater Disdain, than I have
translated with Pleasure, the Contents of this Book.
