Opis

Excerpt from A New Estimate of Manners and Principles: Being a Comparison Between Ancient and Modern Times, in the Three Great Articles of Knowledge, Happiness, and Virtue; Both With Respect to Mankind at Large, and to This Kingdom in Particular I will freely own to you therefore, that it was merely a Bookseller's consideration, which induced me to borrow the title of your late, celebrated work: I was told, that the sale of a Book depended intirely upon the name it bore; which indeed I was inclined beforehand to think might, in a great measure, be the case; though, I own, I never, till now, apprehended it's meaning to be, what I find it is, not a metaphorical one, but strictly literal; not signifying the reputation of a book, but merely it's title-page. And it seems, Booksellers are as shy of standing for a book, as some Godfathers are, in another instance; unless they can have the naming of the Brat, when they attend, with other Gossips, on the due celebration of that rite. I hope therefore, a young Author, who would make his appearance in the world with as much advantage, as he could, may be excused for endeavouring to usher in his first performance under a favorite name.
