SIR,
I Hope not to incur your blame, when I prefix your Name to this small Treatise. The Mat∣ter is new, though long sought after; the scope is the
publick good, and my pri∣vate aim is to shew my gra∣titude for so many obligati∣ons you have been pleased to lay upon me, besides my hopes, that the design of the Subject may perhaps be ap∣proved by experiment, and the smalness of the Volume pass among those things that are not illusory. And to say truth, under whose Wings could I have shel∣tered it better than yours? Whose Affability and Candor is open to the
greatest Strangers, and par∣ticularly my Self, with your never enough to be com∣mended, generous Hospita∣lity.
But my intention here, being not to make your Panegyrick, I supersede and spare your Modesty, it be∣ing sufficient to me, if the Author and the Work can deserve your Protecti∣on, and the favorable Looks of your worthy Brother, Master Robert
Long, and so ingage me to remain the rest of my days
Your most humble and affectionate Servant Garencieres.
