Excerpt from All the Talents: A Satirical Poem, in Three Dialogues Before my readers enter upon the following pages, I think it necessary to de clare, that they were wrttten wzthout any motwes whatever cf part J, private resentment, or personal interest. I am myself neither a link' in the political chain, nor connected with it. I write to repress folly and to reform abuse'; to shew certain personages what they are, with the faint hope of amending them; and at least to display them to the nation that it may stand on its defence.
