TO THE MOST Illustrious and hopeful Prince CHARLES, Prince of Great Britain, Duke of Cornwall, etc. The Publisher In all Humbleness consecrates This Historical Perspective; with Apprecation Of all the most eminent Graces and Triumphant Glories of his Highness' most Royal and Renowned Progenitors. The Publisher's Advertisement to the Reader. THis excellent Piece (model to that Heroic Work, The History of the World) being an exquisite Abstract and Summary of all the famous Kingdoms and Empires that ever were; how worthy it is of public view, will soon appear to a discerning judgement. In this succinct Recollection is contrived (by a Daedalean * Author opus laudat. Ovid. de Ponto lib. 4 Eleg. 9 Hand) the Apotelesma and effect of infinite Volumes; the Original, Progress, and Duration of the most Glorious Monarchies & flourishing States of the World. A Synopsis so mainly conducent and essentially necessary to the right understanding of all Sacred and Secular Histories, as without the conduct thereof (the like being never yet extant in English) small benefit can accrue to ordinary Readers. To reduce such a World of Matter, into so compendious Form, can be adjudged no less than an Herculean task. But of This, vulgar Capacities are as incompetent judges, as blind Men of Colours. This Perspective is not fitted to the dull sight of Self-opinionate Ignaroês. To the intelligent and judicious Peruser, if it prove a grateful work (as to such, undoubtedly it will) the Publication may be justly reputed Operae pretium.
