The First Part , comprising the MAURITIUS , and its Dependencies of the SEYCHELLES , RODRIGUEZ , & C , & C , will appear on the First of October , and one or more Parts will follow every Three Months , until the whole work be completed . The Proprietors may in conclusion venture to state , that the caution with which the Author has received every statement , and the activity and industry with which he has availed himself of every means of information , are the best guarantees for the accuracy and fidelity so absolutely necessary in a work of this description , and they can with confidence recommend it as affording information which but few have hitherto had the means of attaining .
