THE AUTHOR'S PREFACE
PREFAZIONE DELL'AUTORE
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.
Di tutti i generi di satira, non ve n'è alcuno così dilettevole e universalmente edificante come quella che viene introdotta, per così dire occasionalmente, nel corso di una storia interessante, la quale riconduce ogni vicenda alla vita reale, e rappresentando scene familiari da un punto di vista insolito e piacevole, le riveste di tutte le grazie della novità, mentre la natura viene invocata in ogni particolare.
