WHEN an author prefects hit
productions to the world, the
readers immediately desire to know
certain things concerning him; such as
his name, ,«e of abode, intentions
in writing, and the like. Curiosity
To these reform is not- infrequently
faiffied by finding the a'u^or's name
^n ihetide.pff ; and Wfull account of
bis mannerof living, place of abode
Qd inventions in writing, set forth in
an elaborate prefm. But it will by no
meant anfwet for the generality of
<thrifts to be thus frank. Many peri
odical pipets have been read with avi.
dity and profr. i<hich would have been
condemned without reading, or read
with a predetermined dislike, had
Their authors been known. Whether
the farevb&atjr apprehends, any bad
<oufequencev, fhotild he make a foil'
declaration of himfelf in those points
ofaally exciting curiosity, is what he
cannot at present inform his readers ;
hut affixes them upon the dignity of
bis office, that he is determined to
difelofe or conceal every thing rela
ting to himfdl, as he (hall find his es
says approved or condemned. &
Thus much for an int Foduftio^
And here ^we may remark, that to
write an introduai^n with propriety,
i, usually no tefs difficulty than rd per
form the fubfeq,ent part of the work.
Weare net to wonder then that many
directions for this purpose, have been
given by those, whose province it has
been to form the otar^r and the man of
fetters. A particular , acquaintance
with what authors have said on this
fubtea is defireable ; an attmi ion, like
wise, to the various methods of intron
duflion, which different writers have
used, may be of service. But we ought
. carefully to avoid fertile adherence to
the rules of the one; or the examples of
the other. No two limners ever drew
each unoriginal portrait firoilar to the
others; and writers, who are notmere
c opyists will have their ehgraaerifticai
differences. Observe the most gen rat
directions of rhetoricians, and let that
fuffice. Aft according to nature, fe,
numerable have been the plants of her
prodti&ion, allagreeing in some gene
fob,but differing in many particulars.
