Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Literary Fragments
These Literary Fragments are printed, not With the vain hope of rescuing them from the oblivion to Which they are destined, but in the belief that a rapidly-narrowing circle of relations and friends may kindly accept them, as a simple memento of their author. They are not published, because I have no Wish to challenge public criticism, and because no miscellaneous assortment of Remains can Win public favour, unless recommended by the intrinsic value of its contents, by the arts of skilful advertisement, or by the attraction of a popular name.
