ExtraCl from the Preface.
" To the honor of Mr. Berquin's taste,
it may be laid, I hat he has united simple
elegance with interesting variety, but ri
gidly feparatrd both fiom the slightest ap
proach of whatever is vulgar or puerile :
a merit much more easily praised than imi
tated. The art of auiuling child e» t whilft
at the fame time the Infant Genius is rail
ed and the Heart mended, appears Oimi
his works to be no contemptible effort of
the mirid. Wherevfei, therefore, the uti
lity of such art undertaking is acknowledg
ed, the reputation of Mr. Beiquin must
ever be held i« deserved efleem.
" Happily fucn ir r.f!e agreeable rerfttili
tyof Mr. Berquiu's style a id genius, that
it would be diHicultto pronounce in what
department he excels i whether in the
lively 01 the pathetic; the fnnple language
of narrative, or the a.nima'ted points of
conversation : whether in IhiC'wd remarks
upon privaie life, or in florid ilefcriptiou
of the beauties of nature.
u Pieces of rvery various excellence
is to be found in the writings of Mr.
Berquin, compo/e the following volume,
which, it is hoped, will be thought a valu
able substitute (where such may be prefer
red) to the larger and more extensive
work* of the fame author."
