Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Letter From the Anonymous Author of the Letters Versified to the Anonymous Writer of the Monitor Sir, If my Gratitude could conceal the Favours, with which You have lately honoured me, yet my Vanity would publish them. Though they were certainly as Unsolicited, as even a late Peerage and Pension, yet I will not give up all my Virtues to my Modesty, by acknowledging, that they were as Unmerited. No, Sir. I hope, I have deserved; I hope, I shall continue to deserve them. To be praised by a Man, who is himself an Object of Praise, is a certain Proof of our Merit, nor is it an inconsiderable Presumption in our Favour, that we are maligned and calumniated by the Man, who is himself an Object of Reproach and Contempt. What Obligations, therefore, do I not owe to Mr. Monitor? What an additional Pride and Pleasure is it to reflect, that I have had the Honour of being calumniated and maligned in the same Paper, in which a Right Honourable Person is injudiciously, and absurdly applauded? But for what other Obligation, do I profess myself so sincerely grateful? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
