THE following Commentaries were written at different times, and in detached pieces, during the last feven years, without any preconceived plan; and, at firft, without an intention to publish them. And when, at the earneft folicitations of fome friends, who had perused a part of them, the author changed his mind, he refolved to arrange them in a more fatisfactory order, enlarge, and fully correct them; but, as he found this would procraftinate, for various reasons, the publication far beyond the time judged either prudent or useful, he has been prevailed upon to fend these his first thoughts, from the firft draught, to the prefs, in a manner he esteems uncorrected: trufting that the candid feeker after truth will be more attentive to the matter they contain, than the manner in which it is delivered. To this apology, he is forry to have occafion to add, that, owing to his refidence in the country, and confiding the correction of the prefs to others, the reader will find more typographical errors than there ought to be; and yet, he trusts, not more than may readily be corrected with the pen, by the following lift of them.
