IT is but few years ago ſince the Compiler of this Synopſis
conceived his firſt idea of the uſeſulneſs of ſuch an undertaking,
and he exhibited a ſmall ſpecimen thereof in a periodical Work
then publiſhing under the Title of The British Oracle. Here-
upon he received ſeveral letters from Mathematical friends, ex-
preſſing their ſenſe of the great propriety of ſuch a collection, and
ſtrongly encouraging him to purſue the undertaking. Since that
time it has been a growing work, and would continue ſo, were
the publication delayed ever ſo long, as freſh Problems are con-
tinually propoſed to the public. He has therefore now determined
to ſend it abroad, as complete as he can make it to the preſent
period, and leave additions to be made by future collectors.
