of Courfe in a Magazine, that, on the contrary, he has bestowed more Time, Care, and Study, to compleat this Work, than he ever expended on any before.

What regards the 5th Part, which we have entitled, Biographia Philofopbica, will come under the following Articles: It muft be allowed to be a Work of Novelty, as nothing of this Kind, in a general Way, has ever before been attempted. Stanley has given us the Lives of the ancient Philofopbers, but they were promifcuously of all the various Se&s of this Denomination, few of them coming under the Characters of what we now call Natural Philofophers, and ftill much fewer were the Number of Mathematicians. - Voffius has given Us a much larger Lift of the Lives of Philofophers and Mathematicians; but the Account of many, even of the Principal of them, is fo very short, that his Work fcarcely deferves the Title of Biogra phia: Betides, not a few Philofophers of the first Note were entirely omitted. The largeft, and beft Work of this Kind, is in the French Language, confifting of 12 Volumes in 12mo. but fo far are thefe from antwering the Defign we have in View, that they afford us very little Affistance, as many of thofe Lives are of too little Confequence to be commemorated in a Work of this Nature, and many great Perfonages having flourished tince that Work was finished, and of others we find a much better Account in our own Language. After

therein. These Deficiencies and Omiffions we have endeavoured to fupply, and are now entering on that Part which will be moft agreeable and entertaining to the Reader, as we have now a Train of illuftrines Names that were the greatest Ornaments of the prefent Age, and who most of all con tributed to the Improvement of the Sciences; and how far they had severally a Share in the Advancement of Philofophy and the Mathematics, will be our principal Care to point out.

In the laft Place, as to the Mifcellary, we have, and shall occafionally infert many detached Pieces and Effays, in mixt Mathematics, Philofophy, Hiftory, Aftronomy, Antiquities, Natural History, &c. that, we judge, cannot fail of deferving the Notice of our judicious and difcerning Readers.

In the next Place, our Queftions and Answers in the mathematical Part are calculated, as well for the Improvement as Exercife of the younger Part of our Contri butors; and it is to be obferved, that no fmall Luftre has been reflected on this Part from a great Number of the most celebrated Names among the Learned, in Mathematics and Philofophy, who have constantly done us the Honour to contribute to support Undertaking. We acknowledge that the Subjects of our Magazine are not adapted to Readers of the lowest Clafs, the Tre of the Times we leave to others, for a cording to Mr. Pope,

"Triffles like Straws upon the Surface dow, But those that fish for Pearls muft dive telow."

Upon the Whole, we conclude, notwithstanding the many Reflections that bare, from Time to Time, been thrown out againft this Magazine, by thofe whese intrreft it was to obstruct its Succefs as d as poffible, yet we have the Satisfachen to find, that it has met with a general Aporebation from Gentlemen who are the bui Judges of the Subjects, and has been honoured with the Patronage of a Prince, onder whole Aufpices, not only the Creil and Religious, but the Crary World have the greatest Expectations.
