If, however, some few points of antiquity shall be thought to have been pursued beyond the surface, or here and there a sketch of biography and manners faithfully drawn, I shall listen with the less shame to that lecture on presumption, which most authors must expect to receive, when they venture before the tribunal of the Public.
