Excerpt from A Little Book of English Prose
The Introduction to this Little Book has been written by Joseph Addison, Esq., and will be found on' page I 3 5. Several readers may be expected to have different relishes, and to no one can an anthology be so satisfying as'to its compiler; but it 13 hoped that this one will be reasonably acceptable, and it may at least claim to be as truly representative of the progress of English prose writing as its small bulk permits.
