Excerpt from Sacred Geography, or a Gazetteer of the Bible In this work the compiler has often borrowed the style of the au thors, quoted; not always, because he thought it the most laconic or perfect; but among other reasons, because, as it respects travels, there is a certain interest produced by the words of one, who himself saw what he describes; he gives vividness and life to his subject. For borrowing from others, I may, to use the words of the Encyclopedia, plead the common law of authorship in Justification. This is 3 Geographical Dictionary, and the learned Mr. Chambers remaiks, that such works are supposed to be in a great degree, the composi tions of other people, and that their quality gives the authors a title to every thing, which may be for their purpose, wherever they hnd it. If you ask them their authority they will produce you the prac: tice of their predecessors afdll nations and ages. But as the com* piler in this work has quoted authors of established reputation, he presumes to hope, that the style and matter may be satisfactory.
