As the learned Author of the Elements of General History, Professor Tytler, (by courtesy Lord Woodhouselee,) did not die before the year 1813, it is much to be regretted that he should not have brought his History down lower, or rather that he should have left so much to be supplied by less able hands; especially as the events and transactions of the eighteenth century may justly be held to have exceeded, in variety and importance, all that ever took place before on the face of the earth.

In the Continuation nothing farther has been attempted than to carry on the History from the point at which the Professor left it, in the same concise style, and with as much attention to the original method and design as could be rendered consistent with the extraordinary nature of the facts and incidents to be recorded.

To this end it has been found necessary to continue the History of Great Britain and Ireland from the period of the death of Queen Anne:

That of the Southern Continental States of Europe from the end of the reign of Lewis XIV.:

And that of the Northern States from the death of Charles XII. of Sweden, and Peter the First of Russia.
