+
+PREFACE.
+
+
+THE Usefulness of Books calculated for the Improvement of young People
+in the Arts of _Writing_ and _Drawing_, are too evident to need being
+insisted upon.--We shall therefore only beg leave in a very concise
+Manner to point out the particular Merits of the Work we here offer the
+Public.
+
+FIRST, then, it is humbly proposed as an Assistant to School-Masters;
+for as the greatest Part of these our Moral Copies were first wrote by
+that able and experienced Penman, Mr. _William Chinnery_ Senior, and
+engraved from thence by an Artist very eminent in his Way; they will
+save such Masters the Trouble as well as Time of writing a Variety of
+Copies for their young Pupils with their own Hands.
+
+AGAIN, this little Book will undoubtedly be found of infinite Advantage
+to such Persons, as either cannot write at all, or but very
+indifferently, and have no Opportunity of being instructed by any able
+Master; for here they will find not only all the Characters made use of
+in Printing; but those, likewise, in all the Hands that are most useful,
+and most practised throughout _Great-Britain_ in the Way of Trade and
+Business.
+
+AND, that No One, who may be desirous of Improvement in the two
+important Branches above mentioned, may want that Aid or Assistance,
+which this Attempt is so well calculated to afford them, the Editor has
+set so low a Price upon it, that it will fall within the Compass of
+almost every one's Purchase:--And it must be acknowledged, by all who
+are Judges of the Expense of such a Number of Plates, and those,
+likewise, so well executed, that it is the very cheapest Book of the
+Kind that has ever hitherto been published.
+
+AS to our Ornamental, Emblematic Devices, which we have ventured to call
+our DRAWING-BOOK, and we hope with some Degree of Propriety, it has One
+Thing, if Nothing more, to recommend it; namely, that Not One Single
+Design ever appeared in public before; and we apprehend, that the Whole
+is exhibited in an accurate and workmanlike Manner:--Such, therefore, as
+it is, it is freely submitted to the Censure or Approbation of the
+Public, by
+
+_Their Most Obedient Servant_,
+
