Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Some Account of the Life and Publications of the Late Joseph Ritson, Esq.
As the works of an Author become popular, an inquiry is naturally excited respecting his habits and manners; and hence an interest arises from a consideration of the character before us, to trace the origin of that mode of study, or excitement of research, which enabled him to produce the many amusing and enlight ened volumes, that either appeared with his name, or are attributed to his pen. But while in the life of a traveller biography is collaterally supplied with novelty and adventure, while in that of a statesman it is rendered interesting.
