TABLKT-No. IV.
We offered a kind of an apology in onr
ihtroductrry number, for the careless manner
¦in which we expected to compose tire
"Tablet. Knowing that we could not
find leSttre to polish our styles 'we so
informed the public. The CasSi however,
Was different, as "it respected the subjects
¦we had contemplated to pa^s j-tnder exami-
nation. These being familiarised to our |
mind, coul 1 neither be intrinsically im-
proved by style, nor injured by haste. To
the matter-., therefore, alone we solicited at-
tention.
SoTtn- persons, it is understood, have
been bi&hded by our preliminary number.
We certainly did not intend to court pub-
lic favor by insidious flattery'. There are
Among us, V.:;d we are proud to acknowledge
it, painters, poets, essayists, historians,
lawyers and divines ; but, although we can
shew specimens far from indifferent, in
? h i of their walks, yet it will become us
better for the present, to be modest than
bia tf'ul. Vanity will overset the soundest
tent. The time is, we .hope, ap-
:iiug, when we shall sing down Pope,
in poetry ; silence the easy Addison, in
prose ; and turn Swift, into ridicule, by our
wit : when the historians Robinson and
-Gibbon, shall yield to American names of
greater .potency ano undergpnej and are undergoing, the
aaost radical changes; Nothing now is per-
- tsatient. Every thing manly, moral, reli-
gious and political, has been throwri into a
