Excerpt from Like Master Like Man, Vol. 1 of 2: A Novel
After having suggested the publication of these slight Volumes, it was my design to preface them, merely, with some account of the deceased Author, and the unhappy situation of his Wodow: But, while ruminating on one who so very humble ventured on the borders of literary fancy, my thoughts have stray's do a consideration of those who penetrate deeply into it's labyrinths, and of the brambles, and thorns, which obstruct their passage.
I shall, now, hazard a few of these Thoughts upon paper. As they are applicable chiefly to Poets, Dramatists, and their Scrutators, they may seem irrelative here, prima facie, but will be found, at last, introductory to the Novel.
They are offer'd as crude hints for considerations on living criticks, who so piteously bewail the dearth of living genius! - but we have heard of crocodiles' tears.
