This begins with an “Epistle Dedicatory” by Edm. Wingate and the Preface of John Kersey. The Table of Contents divides the whole book into three parts; one half of the first portion was Wingate’s and the other half was Kersey’s improvement upon Wingate, while nearly the whole of the second part and all the Appendix are comprised in “chapters that have been entirely composed by the said J. K.”
