Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Maxims, Reflections, and Observations: With Other Miscellaneous Writings, in Prose and Poetry
It will at once be seen, from the circumstances under which the volume is published, that a thirst for fame is not the motive. To the critic much need not be said; there is, doubtless, room for censure to those who read with a view of setting forth the failings of a work, which presumes not to compete with many others of the like nature; at the same time, its merits will not be lost upon those who view them.
