Excerpt from The Saunterer, Vol. 1 of 2: A Periodical Paper in Two Volumes
If the approbation by which I was first induced to publish the present vo lume be not hereafter continued, I shall regret the inconstancy of praise, but I shall not accuse myself of temerity or arrogance. He who has pleased the readers of a newspaper without the aid of buffoonery, politics, or scandal, has some reason to believe that his labour has not been entirely useless. To have gained by my writings the favour and the friendship of a few, without influ ence, flattery, or riches, is a better ex cuse for my literary presumption than can commonly be offered. I am nu~ willing to believe that the Essays which were applauded when their author was unknown, will lose their interest when he is discovered.
