LONDON: Printed for the Author, No. 14, RED LION-STREET, CLERKENWELL; AND SOLD BY ALL BOOKSELLERS, M,D,LXXXVI, ADVERTISEMENT. AMONG all the ufeful and inftructive Books written for the multitude, there has been none calculated to give that nëceffary information to Strangers coming to refide in London, which they are always in want of, nor any pointing out thofe eafy and falutary remedies which the inhabitants of the metropolis may have recourse to, to protect them from the arts and villainies of those who prey upon the ignorant and incautious. Impreffed with the idea of the utility of fuch a work, the author of the fubfequent pages has given them to the world, and flatters himself he has omitted nothing neceffary to be known, to fecure the individual in tranquillity and the peaceable enjoyment of his home, and put him in a method of conducting his domestic concerns with wisdom and œconomy. ¡ལ་ If the reader is defirous of having a Compendium of all the laws that refpect him as a domeftic man, a gentleman, and a member of fociety, and lead him to avoid the penalties he is liable to, I will refer him to a work lately published, called THE COUNTRY LAWYER, where he will find every fubject in which he has any intereft fully treated of, and on the best authorities: the particulars of this work he will find in an advertifement at the end.
