THE AUTHOR'S PREFACE

VORWORT DES AUTORS

Of all kinds of satire, there is none so entertaining and universally improving, as that which is introduced, as it were occasionally, in the course of an interesting story, which brings every incident home to life, and by representing familiar scenes in an uncommon and amusing point of view, invests them with all the graces of novelty, while nature is appealed to in every particular.

Von allen Arten der Satire gibt es keine, die so unterhaltend und allgemein bildend ist wie jene, die gleichsam gelegentlich im Verlauf einer interessanten Geschichte eingeführt wird, welche jeden Vorfall lebensnah darstellt und durch die Darstellung vertrauter Szenen aus einem ungewöhnlichen und unterhaltsamen Blickwinkel ihnen allen Reiz des Neuen verleiht, während die Natur in jedem einzelnen Punkt angesprochen wird.
