HE who makes Ms appearance as a public inllrudor generally raifcs an belt of enemies, becnufe be conceives iifmfrlf fuperior to his readers, rnd iii the pqffcffion of genius and knowledge wettby of their particular regard. He has foflie new difcovetfes to make, lb me new fyilrm to exp'ain, or he Satfers hirnfelf that by the eloquence * f" his language, or the variety of bis flluflrations, he (hall be able to ^lace knows truths in a more ihiking light. But as we are ^pt to efifmate our talents at more than their fall value, it dees not always happen that an author fulfils what his preface hath promifed. His leaders are therefore difappointed, and have frequently to lament' theii !ofc of money in parchafing the book, and their lofs of time in perufing it, Thde two evils t have endeavored to ob¬ viate by the method which i have chofen to convey my thoughts to the public : for if I fhall be found totalis unfit for my utidertak- ing, the reader has only to pafs over the col- uouis devoted hy the printer to my lucubra¬ tions j ana as he would have purchakd the Gazefte though I had never wrhten,'he Can¬ not blame mc for any pecuniary lof-. I am fuffici^-ntly aware that this mixiety to fave the fiioney and tame of tlie public will not exciife me to thofc who think it the threat eft prefumpiion in any but themftlves to write for the amufement and inftrufiion of their fellow fubjedls—But I do nor defpair of rendering tven them friendly to my dellgn* I am not fo arrogant as to defpife the mur¬ murs of fuch critics as are difpleafed with my efforts to entertain the public, and are at pains to point put my deficiencies and the blunders which 1 may commit. On the C'Mitravj i (halxbeai their correction wlthpa- tionce9 anU enUeftvor "ti> rjmfl&l flvmu iuv^j blow. They may complain of my vai.ity and folly in attempting tu tell others what 1 have not yet learned rnyfelf. They may warn the public not to fuller fuch a babbler to take up that fpace in our newlpaper vvuli meagre imitation and iujudicioua pillage, v.hich rr.i^ht be more ul'cfnlly filled with plcafiOg anecdoti-3, choice poetry and amui- ing tales. But I fhall (lill prefetve my good temper, and while they admit of no plea in my favor—no good-natured motive—no de- fire to furpiOl innocent amufcmcnt—to im¬ press upon the public a greater reipeft for re¬ ligion and virtue, or even to excite a laudable th'irll for nfcful knowledge—1 fhall content inyfelf with inviting them to afHll me with their fupcrior abilities, and with telling them that I fhall at any time prefer to fill my col¬ umns with their fag'j oblervations rather than with my own. Delighting in harmony and peace, I am determined not to be offend¬ ed at ctnfure, nor puffed up with applauie. With the Utter I {hall not be much incom- elegant nnd fticcefs-ful writer. Attacks of this kind have been refilled by different au¬ thors in various ways. Some fet critics at de¬ fiance, and provided their works are purchas¬ ed, they difrcgard their vociferation*. Oth¬ ers adopt the motto which I have prefixed to this paper, and rejoice in tin ir own perform¬ ances. " I have fpent twenty years," laid a writer on the Nightingale, "in compofing this *' treatife, for I confider it the duty of every " man in fociety to do all he can to piomote " the general good of mankind ;. but yet my " love for the public welfare, which has in- " dnced me to public this work, has not to be " fuffered me to forget that it ought t< " written with franknefs and fincerity.
