The Expedition of Humphry Clinker — Page 1
P.S. I propose, Deo volente, to have the pleasure of seeing you in the great city, towards All-hallowtide, when I shall be glad to treat with you concerning a parcel of MS. sermons, of a certain clergyman deceased; a cake of the right leaven, for the present taste of the public.
추신. 저는, 신의 뜻이라면, 만성절 무렵에 대도시에서 귀하를 만나 뵐 수 있는 기쁨을 누리고자 하오며, 그때 작고한 어느 성직자의 설교 원고 묶음에 대해 귀하와 협의하게 되기를 바랍니다. 이는 현재 대중의 취향에 딱 맞는 올바른 누룩으로 만든 빵과 같은 것입니다.
Verbum sapienti, &c.
현명한 자에게는 한 마디면 족하오, 기타 등등.
