Excerpt from Essays in a Series of Letters to a Friend, Vol. 1 of 2: On the Following Subjects; I. On a Man's Writing Memoirs of Himself; II. On Decision of Character; III. On the Application of the Epithet Romantic; IV. On Some of the Causes by Which Evangelical Religion Has Been Rendered Less Acceptable to Persons of Cul Perhaps, it will be thought that pieces written so much in the manner of set compositions as the following, should not have been denominated Letters; it may therefore be proper to say, that they are so called, because they were actually addressed to a friend. They were written however with the intention to print them, if, when they were finished, the author could persuade himself that they deserved it; and the character of authors is too well known for any one to be surprised that he could persuade himself of this. The general character of readers is also too well known for an author to have any cause to wonder, if they are delighted to find out that he has deceived himself.
