Book excerpt: "The reader will not, I trust, conclude from my having adopted the above motto, that I am either so weak as to have no object in offering this little volume to the world, beyond the gratification of my own vanity, or altogether so dishonest as to seek the patronage of the public to a work, which, with knowledge afore-thought, I am sensible has "nothing in it" that can arrest the attention or engage the understanding. My design on the contrary, is to show that I am not ignorant of the risk which writers unknown to fame always incur, of having the double charge of vanity and inefficiency brought against them by a criticizing public"--Preface, page [iii].
