THE AUTHOR'S PREFACE

PREFACIO DEL AUTOR

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.

De todos los tipos de sátira, no hay ninguno tan entretenido y universalmente provechoso como aquel que se introduce, por así decirlo ocasionalmente, en el transcurso de una historia interesante, que lleva cada incidente directamente a la vida, y que, al representar escenas familiares desde un punto de vista insólito y ameno, las reviste de todas las gracias de la novedad, mientras que la naturaleza es invocada en cada detalle.
