Preface

Again, should it be asked your page, 'Pray, what may be the author's age?' Your faults, no doubt, will make it clear, I scarce have seen my twentieth year, Which passed, kind Reader, on my word, While England's Throne held George the Third.

Now then your venturous course pursue: Go, my delight! Dear Book, adieu!

Hague, Oct. 28, 1794. M. G. L.
