Description

Excerpt from All the Talents: A Satirical Poem, in Four Dialogues; To Which Is Added, a Pastoral Epilogue Yet I do not altogether agree with the Pursuits iqf Literature in its opinion of the'all commanding influence of the press. Doubt less it is a very consoling reflection to the Garretteer, that his volume may be more conducive to the prosperity of his country, than the capture of an island, or the defeat of an enemy's squadron.

Litem ture is of little avail, compared with oral interco urse It i may disseminate doctrines more, speedily, but it does not invent them One object of an author is to please, and he will always suit his topic to the fishion of his day.
