"I [...] have no other preliminaries to settle with the reader, than that he will divest himself of prejudice and prepossession, and suffer his reason and his feelings to determine for themselves; that he will put _on_, or rather that he will not put _off_ the true character of a man, and generously enlarge his views beyond the present day."
