" Of all the

poems which have hitherto appeared in the world, in whatever age or nation, the preference has generally been given, by impartial judges, to Milton's Paradise Loft. But this inimitable work, amidst all its beauties, is unintelligible to abundance of readers: The immense learning, which he has every where crowded together, making it quite obfcure to perfons of a common education.

"This difficulty, almost insuperable as it appears, I have endeavoured to remove in the following Extract: First, By omitting those lines, which I despaired of explaining to the unlearned, without using abundance of words: And, Secondly, by adding short and easy notes, fuch as I trust will make the main of this excellent poém clear, al intelligible, to any uneducated person of a tolerable understanding."
