Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Cabinet, or Monthly Report of Polite Literature, Vol. 1: February to June, 1807
WE cannot suffer the present opportunity to pass by, without briefly expressing our grateful acknowledgments for the liberal patronage which this Work has experienced from the Public. We may say with Macbeth that we are yet but young in deed, but we have received such flattering com mendations from all quarters, and our confidence in our resources is so strong, that we can venture to promise to the cabinet not only a long but a prosperous life, and it shall be our study as it grows older, to make it grow as much better as we can, by adopting every hint, at whatever expence, that may appear calculated either to increase] the interest of its contents, or the splendour of its embellish ments. The present volume therefore is offered as a specimen, not of what we deserve, but of what we will deserve.
