Obstacles. Preamble

If by abstracting their imperfections in conception, I could abstract
them in reality: &
f by describing them as
I could make them what I describe: then indeed would the
most flattering colours make be the most proper to employ.
Human Nature fails does not, for any thing here said, to go on go on the less
at least according to my judgment, in the as the trade of growing
better: & to this, its days being made to do so is nothing conduces more, than the knowledge
of what it is.
8. This common-place defence to which writers on human nature commonly prepare in vain against the attacks of adversaries, being promised, I proceed to enter on the subject of this book.
