Excerpt from Devout Meditations: Or a Collection of Thoughts Upon Religious and Philosophical Subjects
How shall I sufficiently thank you for the favour and honour of your very valuable present.
The Book of Meditations I have read, and more than once; and I shall never lay it far out of my reach for a greater demonstration of a sound head, and sincere heart, I never saw.
Dear Sir, I cannot but return to my favourite Meditations; for, in truth, I am fond of them. I think you was a lucky man in meeting with the manuscript; and I know you was a worthy one, by bringing it to tile press. The world is your debtor for it. My part of the debt I will pay, as far as hearty thanks will go towards it: and I wish I could do more. But I am surprised that the author"s name is suppressed: for I know no name to which: that work would not do an additional credits and; why a man"s modesty should rob him of his just honour, when, by that honour, his modesty can be no more offended, I know not. I wish you would consider this, with regard to future editions. I desire you, Sir, to insert mo in the list of your friends, for such I am, and such I am obliged to be by your unexpected and unmeritted favour.
