nations of the earth could continue to be united in the bonds of peace; but fuch a happy fituation of things is rather to be defired than expected. There is a ferment in the minds of men which seems to prognofticate fresh disturbances, and which perhaps may end in great revolutions. It is not our bufinefs to prophefy; but we cannot avoid expreffing our apprehenfions, that the commotions in Holland will not blow over fo lightly as fome politicians are ready to imagine.
The Literary Part of our work will explain the State of Knowledge, Science and Tafte in the year 1786; and it is a pleasure to find that, amidst a number of infignificant publications, there are fo many which can be spoken of with applaufe. Those who depreciate the learning of the prefent times, are not acquainted with the fubject. In the department of Domeftic Literature, we have fresh obligations to the gentleman who hath voluntarily communicated to us the articles that relate to Natural Philofophy, Chemistry, and Medicine.
On the whole, we present the Seventh Volume of the New Annual Regifter to our readers, with the agreeable hope, that they will derive from it both inftruction and entertainment. Such a hope hath always animated our endeavours, and it will continue to invigorate our future exertions.
THE Hiftory of Knowledge, Learning, and Tafta in Great Britain, during the Reign of Henry the Seventh. From the Year 1485, to the
Year 1509.
