Description
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.
I am not insensible of the truth of an assertion of Sir Roger l'estrange, that Books and dishes have this common fate: no one of either ever pleased all tastes. And I am fully of opinion in this: It is as little to be wished for as expected; for a universal applause is, at least, two-thirds of a scandal.
To conclude with Sir Roger, Though I made this com position principally for my family, yet, if any man has a mind to take part with me, he has free leave, and is welcome; but let him carry this consideration along with him, that he is a very unmannerly guest who forces himself upon another man's table, and then quar rels with hisdinner.
