Excerpt from Village Dialogues, Vol. 1 of 2: Between Farmer Littleworth, Thomas Newman, Rev. Mr. Lovegood, and Others; From the Eighteenth London Edition, With Additional Dialogues Contrary to the accustomed rule of most authors, no Preface or Introduction has been hitherto thought of by way of recommending these Dialogues to the public notice; they have been entirely left to speak for themselves: and the public attention has been attracted by them, far beyond my expectation. As we grow old, it is fit we should grow modest. This edition, therefore, appears more according to the accustomed form, and modestly asks for a farther hearing, especially, as it is to be hoped, that some alterations, and many additions will be found as amendments to the work. The last impression was rendered so tardy in its circulation, by an unfortunate sale of the copy-right, that by many it was deemed to be out of print, so that the present impression will appear like a life from the dead. I am happy to be informed by the respectable Bookseller, who now possesses the copy-right, that the price, and manner of publishing the present edition, will render it an easy purchase to the public; and in this, I trust, I shall have my reward.
