And I will venture to hazard as a more than probable conjecture, that it were pofiible even now to collect and reco ver nearly as full and particular an account of the occurrences public or private of this nation, by purfuing this method (with out referring at all to the printed accounts, ) for any period of time from Henry the gd's reign (or even higher fiill is fo far and' in proportion as the above-mentioned authorities are ftill in prefervation) as it would be to do it for the; fame period imme diately preceding the prefent century. And perhaps too I might fafely add, that fuch an account fairly and impartially taken from thefe authentic regifiers of fact of indifputable au thenticity, in point Of real information, particular fiatement and an unquefiionable authority, would be fuperior to any.
