General note"An attempt to improve a work of such justly established celebrity ... will, probably, be considered by many, as an ostentatious and unnecessary exertion. A frequent review, however ... has led me to remark a few deficiencies ... I have not presumed, in any instance, to alter the original text ... The additions are all printed at the bottom of the pages, and separated from the text of Mr. Murray by lines ... "--Preface by the American editor, p. [iii]-v. Signed on p. v: J.A. Philadelphia, Nov. 6, 1806.
