Description

Excerpt from Gaieties and Gravities, Vol. 1 of 3: A Series of Essays, Comic Tales, and Fugitive Vagaries OF the following Papers, the greater part have already been published, mostly in the New Monthly Magazine; and if the Author be asked why such pro ductions, (many of them very frivolous in their na ture, ) should be preserved from that fate which con demus so much Literature of better quality to be strictly fugitive, he is really unprepared with an an swer; unless it may be surmised that their very light ness may keep them awhile from sinking, as straws and bubbles will float upon those waters of oblivion, wherein things of greater weight and value are doomed to be engulphed. He may urge in extenua tion, that he is only following the example of other Periodicalists, whose collections have been not unfa vourably received by the Public -and lastly, he may advance a plea which most Scribblers, whatever may be the Opinion of their Readers, will consider valid.
