Dear sir (or dear madam) who happen to glance at this title-page printed you'll see to enhance its aesthetic attration, pray buy, if you're able, this excellent bargain: A critical fable; the book may be read in the light of a sequel to the "Fable for critics" a volume unequal (or hitherto so) for its quips and digressions on the poets of the day, without undue professions, I would say that this treatise is fully as light as the former, its judgments as certainly right as need be.

An account of the times, by a poker of fun, WITT D., O. S., A. I.
