procure some advantage to the land of his 

 birth, by impartially giving it that character, 

 and holding it forth in that true light through 

 whose medium he firmly believes it ought to be 

 viewed, has been the cause of intruding himself 

 upon the public attention ; and if his feeble 

 endeavours should have the good fortune to 

 obtain approbation, rather for the attempt than 

 their real merits, his greatest ambition will be 

 amply gratified. 



London, 

 'November, 1815.
