Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Facetiae and Miscellanies
Pope observes, in the advertisement to his first Satire in imitation of Horace, that there is not in the world a greater error than that which fools are so apt to fall into, and knaves with good rea son to encourage, the mistaking a satirist for a libeller; whereas, to a true satirist, nothing is so odious as a libeller, for the same reason as to a man truly'virtuous, nothing is so hateful as a hypocrite.
