nefactors and ornaments of mankind; where the ftatefman mufed, in folitude, on the welfare of his country; the philofopher enriched the age with his fblime difcoveries; or the poet "informed the page with mufic, image, fentiment, and thought;" where a Richard Cromwell preferred the fcenes of innocence and peace to all the glory of guilty greatnefs; where a Lyttleton received the first convictions of religious truth; or an Addifon exemplified, in a happy death, the pleafures and importance of a virtuous life. It is natural to view fuch scenes with a degree of enthusiasm, and to confider the ground we tread as almost facred. But this fentiment is too natural to be novel; it is as old as Tully: "Movemur enim," fays that polite Roman, nefcio quo pacto, locis ipfis, in quibus eorum, quos diligimus aut admiramur, adfunt veftigia. Me quidem ipfæ illæ noftræ Athenæ, non tam operibus magnificis exquifitifque antiquorum artibus delectant, quam recordatione fummorum virorum, ubi quifque habitare, ubi federe, ubi difputare fit folitus.' Places that appear in the Map, without being noticed in the Tour, are fuppofed not to contain any thing very remarkable. TO THE FROM SEVENTH EDITION. ROM the nature of his Plan, the Editor of the AMBULATOR readily admits, that it must ever be fubject to alteration and improvement, as infeparable from the variety of new objects, which the versatility of taste and fashion, the fluctuation of property, and the inftability of man muft neceffarily create. Encouraged, however, by the very favourable reception: his laft Edition was honoured with, he fhould deem himself unworthy the future favor of a generous Public, were he, on this occafion, to omit the fullest expreffion of his grateful fenfe of their kind indulgence, which his duty tells him, can only be acknowledged by the moft fcrupulous attention to bring the object of their patronage to the utmo po Me perfection. With this view he has carefully avoi any inaccuracies that may have crept in the for-mer Edition, noticed whatever changs ray have taken place fince its publication, and ad led tirty-fix pages of entirely new matter, which, he trults, will better demonftrate, than any thing he can fay, his anxiety to render this Seventh Edition worthy the acceptance of the Public, and that it may indeed be, what its title profeffes, a complete, accurate, and. pleafing Pocket Companion in a Tour round London. The Editor returns his thanks to thofe Gentlemen who have fo obligingly favoured him with communications relative to the deaths of fome of the proprietors of feats mentioned in the following Tour, the transfer of the property of others, &c. and hopes,. through their kindness, ftill farther to improve the work. He therefore requefts that their favors may. be directed for the Editor of the Ambulator, at Metis. Scatcherd and Whitaker's, Bookfellers, Ave-Maria-Lane.
