Présentation de l'éditeur
Admired as Mr. Shenstone is as a poet, his character, as a man of clear judgment, and deep penetration, will best appear from his prose works. It is there we must search for the acuteness of his understanding, and his profound knowledge of the human heart.

I have no apprehension of incurring blame from any one, for preserving these valuable remains: they will discover to every reader, the authors sentiments on several important subjects.
