Excerpt from A Classical and Archaeological Dictionary of the Manners, Customs, Laws, Institutions, Arts, Etc of the Celebrated Nations of Antiquity, and of the Middle Ages, to Which Is Prefixed a Synoptical and Chronological View of Ancient History

In all the articles Of a general nature (as Architecture, Gods, My thology, Laws, Literature, Marriages, Money, Oracles, Philosophers, Priests, War, chronological order has been strictly kept in View 5 the subject usually commencing with Egypt or Assyria, as being the most ancient nations of which we have any authentic notices 5 and then proceeding to the Jews, Persians, Cretans, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Celts, Saxons, Normans, &c., according as the matter under consideration was more or less connected therewith. On these general subjects the Editor has thought proper to enlarge 5 but there are many of great interest in which he could have wished to 'have been more diffuse, and on which Volumes might be written; as the articles Chaos, Crusades, Feudum, Magna Charta, Painting, Sculpture, &c.; yet as compression and brevity have been constantly kept in view, in order to limit the work to. A portable size, he has confined himself to a mere synopsis of each subject.
