"All the travels, worthy of preservation, contained in the former large collections of Churchill, Green, Harris, and the Harleian, are here reprinted. Many volumes of high price, such as Pococke's and Shawe's Travels, are given almost entire. Translations and extracts of many important travels, not before known in the English language, are likewise intermingled; besides several small treatises, objects of research among the curious, and exceedingly scarce. In this point of view, it is believed, that the purchaser of this work could not procure the same collection in the originals for three or four hundred pounds, and some of them, probably, not at any price."
