Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of Hannah More, Vol. 1 of 7: The Repository Tales
It. Ma not, it is presumed, be thought necessary to apologize for the pub 'cation of this collection, by enumerating all the reasons which produced it. Desire of friends is now ecome a bial satire; the poet is driven from that once creditable refuge, behind which an unfounded eagerness to appear in print used to shelter itself; and is obliged to abandon the untenable forts and fastnesses of this last citadel of a?'ectation. Dr. J ohnson's sarcasm upon one plea will apply to all, and put to ?ight the whole hack neyed train of false excuses If the book were not written to be printed, I presume it was printed to be read.
