Excerpt from The Old English Gentleman, Vol. 1 of 3: Or the Fields and the Woods
The writer of the following pages would be acting unfairly, no less to his readers than to himself, if he were to neglect saying a few words, as to his design and object in writing them. Though very far from being indifferent to the criticism which may await this first production of his almost untried pen, and still farther from hoping to escape those just censures to which his want of practice may have rendered him liable, he would fain avoid the charge of having failed to accomplish what he has, in fact, not attempted.
