A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

From John Buntan s Apology for his Book, taken from an edition of Pilgrim sPKOGRES s,y printed in 1775. As John died in 1688, these lines are probably 200 years old, and we must( give them a (hane(! to survive till A.D. 2084. More than twenty things, which I set down; This done, I twenty more had in my Crown; And they again began to multiply Like Sparks that from the Coals of Fire do fly. Nay, then, thought I, if that you breed so fast, Ill put you by yourselves, lest you at last Should prove ad infinitum. Yet I did not think To show to all the World my Pen and Ink In such a Mode; I only thought to make I knew liot what: Nor did I undertake To please my neighbour; no, not I; I did it mj own self to gi-atify. Thus I set Pen to Paper with Delight, And quickly had my Thoughts in Black and White. For having now my Method by the End, Still as I pull d, it came; and so I pcnn d Itdown; until it came at last to be For Length and Breadth the Bigness which you see. Well, when I had thus put my Ends togethtn Ishowed them others, that I might see whether They would condemn them, or them jiistif y: And some said, let them live; some, let them die; Some said, John, print it; others said, Not so; Some said it might do Good; others said No. Now I was in a Streight, and did not see Which was the best Thing to be done by me; At last I thought, since ye are thus divided, I print it will, and so the Case decided. For, thought I, some I see would have it done. Though others in that Channel do not run :T oprove, then, who advised for the best, Thus I thought fit to put it to the Test.
