5 Prefat (Reward)

New Language I will give up my language with the utmost
readiness, as soon as any one will
prove shew it to be useless, or furnish me with a
better: and I mention this not in the way of
defiance, but of invitation.

Taken by itself a good some part deal of what is
to be found in the following sheets will be would seem
thought little better than common-place:
what novelty belongs to it consisting in nothing little
else but the subordination it is put under to
more general principles, and the connection to
which it is shewn to possess with the subject of
reward. But <add> From</add> Of a whole which taken together is
not common a few parts can not merely or
on account of their commonness will with propriety
be left out. Many a proposition has got abroad (into the world) of which the demonstration is yet to seek: That &c That a notion has
been current is no reason for against not proving it
to be just.

It is neither matter nor general utility (though
(carried to every ever so high a degree) that will yet be secure
readers to that which is not amusing a book in which there is nothing to amuse. The
recitals in an act of parlit may be true& the enacting
part useful: but who that is not particularly interested
in it will read acts of parliament?
