Excerpt from Books and Reading
Yet still the author keeps to his old and wonted method of prefacing; when at the beginning of the book he enters, either with a halter about his neck, submitting himself to his reader's mercy whether he shall be hanged, or no; or else in a huffing man ner he appears with the halter in his hand, and threatens to hang his reader, if he gives him not his good word. This, with the excitement of some friends to his undertaking, and some few apologies for want of time, books, and the like, are the con stant and usual shams of all scribblers as well ancient as modern. Commonplace Book.'
