Excerpt from Bishop Jeremy Taylor, His Predecessors Contemporaries and Successors: A Biography In sending forth this volume into cloud or sunshine, as the gale may happen to take it, the re¿ection is cheering, that commendations of ancient authors are usually received with favour, perhaps, as Shenstone said of fine days, because people can praise them without envy. Admiration, whose eyes are ever weak, stands still to gaze upon great things acted far 03, but when they are near, walks slightingly away, as from familiar objects. In this in stance, assuredly, there will be reason for thankfulness, if the fame of the dead shall pre vail by example more than the reputation of the living.
