To remove so general and well grounded a Complaint, it was propofed that the Youth of this Kingdom Thould receive in the Drawing-School established by the DUBLIN SOCIETY, the Inftructions necessary to enable them to become Proficients in the different Branches of that Art, and to pursue with Success, geographical, nautical, mechanical, commercial or military Enquiries: in this View, an Abstract of the following Plans were delivered to their Secretaries and Treasurer in the Month of Octofpection of ber, 1764, to be laid before the Society; and to prevent an Undertaking of the Dublin- National Utility, to be defeated through the Suggestions of Design or IgSociety put norance, the Plans were printed; which being received by the Public Footing, has with general Approbation, the DUBLIN-SOCIETY, pursuant to the Report fupplied this of their Committee appointed to examine into the Merit of the Plans, and the Character of the Propofer, refolved, the 4th of February, 1768, that they should be carried into Execution by the Author, under their immediate Inspection.
