And murm'ring demons hate him, and ad

Extract from the Preface.
" To the honor of Mr. Berquin's taste,
it may be said, that he has united simple
clegance wi"tb interesting variety, but ri
gidly feparatcd both f.ont the flijtiteft ap
proach of whatever is vulgar or puerile :
a merit much more easily praised than imi
tated. The art of amuling child en,whilft
at the fame time the Infant Genius is rais
ed and the Heart mended, appears from
his works 10 be fin' contemptible effort of
the mind. Wherever, therefore, the uti-
lity of such an undertaking is acknowledg
ed, the reputation of Mr. Berquin mull
ever be held in delierved esteem.
" Happily such is ihe agreeable versatili
ty of Mr. Bei quin's style and genius, that
it would be diHitult to pronounce in what
department he excels : whether >11 the
lively or the pathetic; the simple language
of narrative, or the animated points of
conversation : whether in flirewdYcmarkS
upon privaie life, or in florid description
of the bcautie! of nature.
" Pieces of every various excellence
that is to be found in the writings of Mr.
Berquin, compose the following volume,
which, it is hoped, will)* thought a valu
able fubftitnte (whq : e fucb may be prefer
red) to -the larger and raore «xtesfiv*
works of the fame author.''
