Excerpt from The Four Ages: Together With Essays on Various Subjects
The greatest part of these Essays should be considered as Sketches for a Periodical Paper, which was once intended for publication - they are, in consequence, upon familiar subjects, and treated as such - The Four-Ages, and other Pieces (easily distinguished) made no part of the above design; but though less proper for a Paper, they are more so for a Book, which may be considered as an addition to the Thirty Letters already published by the same Author.
