Preface.
confess I see not with what propriety it contrasts with
those others which in the same breath it is thought not
improper to avow. These are — " a sense of public duty,"
and a wish to "facilitate a business of much national expe
-diency." But how any "business of much national expediency"
that was ever proposed before, is to be facilitated or carried
on but by a "disposition to promote novelties" is more than
I amable to conceive. "A wish then to facilitate a business
of much national expediency" can never be inconsistent with,
in short can scarcely but originate from, " a disposition to
promote novelties:" a sense of public duty, " (if the effect
of such a sense be the "wish to facilitate businesses of
of much national expediency") can not but lead a man to
promote and even to propose novelties.
