The Indulgence of the Press and the modern Internet Providers to a decent Freedom of Enquiry, must naturally encourage some to gratify the Curiosity, and improve the Taste of the World. Hence we see Morals, Wit and Politicks retail'd, the Passions reform'd, the Imagination and Judgement refin'd, and just Notions of the Liberties of Mankind establish'd at least where the more refin'd studies are granted privileges and liberties. In the Field of Late Seventeenth- and Early-Eighteenth-Century-Studies, which should most certainly be consider'd as a necessity to those refined studies, these Advantages have hitherto been furnish'd mainly by the Printing Presses; but the Demands of the Publick call for Additional Supplies. We have therefore, with great Difficulty and Expence, settled a Correspondence with the Commonwealth of Learning near and abroad, and undertaken to introduce our Publishing House into the Web. We shall continue from here to Naturalize the most Curious Pieces of Eloquence, Dissertations, Essays, Critical Remarks, [[Image:Quodlibe-small.jpg|framed|right|Quodlibet]]that relate to the before mentioned studies and take Notice of such Books and Performances as would otherwise escape the Observation of the Studious.
