Excerpt from Græcæ Grammatices Rudimenta: In Usum Regiæ Scholæ Etonensis IT is customary with Authors and Editors to make some kind of apology for the work pro: duced, in order to make the public believe that they are very modest beings; how far such pusillanimous humility may tend to promote their ultimate desire, \i will not attempt to investigate, but I am quite sure of one thing, such fulsome: nonsense will never be well received by wise men; because, whoever com poses or compiles a book thinks that he can make some improvement, and if he succeeds in a small degree, his work will be beneficial to mankind; if he fails in the attempt, his apology will not procure his pardon for having induced the public to purchase his useless volume.
