Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Eccentricities for Edinburgh, Containing Poems, Entitle'd, a Lamentation to Scotch Booksellers: Fire, or the Sun-Poker, Mr. The Luminous Historian; Or Learning in Love, London Rurality; Or Miss. Bunn, and Mrs. Bunt
This method of publishing was adopted in consequence of an offer from Edinburgh Book sellers, to purchase some Tales in Verse, to be written by the present Author; the subjects of which they left to his own discretion, - or indis cretion if any blame, therefore, be attach'd to these Booksellers, it cannot be for choosing the Poems, (since they did not choose them, ) but for choosing the Poet.
He is duly sensible of the distinction they have shewn him, by inviting him among them.
