O I i D, AT THE UXl EltS1Ty PltESS. JIDCOCSXIX. r 1 l H E entire
Vorks nttribu ted to sir Waltcr Ralegh being now printed for the
first time in an uniforil edition, it may be expected that some
statement sllould be given of the plan adopted in collecting
materials for the present volumes. The edition of the History of
the World, as pub lished by Mr. Williain Oldys in 1736, l avinga
lways beell considered to be the most correct in text and
typography, it was, at first, intended to follow that edition
exclusively but upon a comparison of some doubtful readings with
the earlier copies, it ap peared that not only Oldys had made
several arbi t rary and unnecessary alterations, but that the p i n
ter had executed his task with considerable carelessness and
inaccuracy in some chaptei-S hav ing left out entire passages, and
in others disfigured them by partial omissions or alterations,
which either weakened or destroyed the sense . Ui der these a The
subjoined instances, taken at randoin, lirry s iffice to establish
the truth of what has been stated above. Their nun ber might be
easily aug mented. Vol. I. p. 17. 1. 1 1 . incorporal it cannot be,
