Excerpt from The Letters of Junius, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Latest London EditionI dedicate to you a collection of letters, written by one of yourselves, for the common benefit of us all, They would never have grown to this size Without your continued encouragement and applause. TO me they originally Owe nothing but a healthy, sanguine constitution. Under your care they have thriven: to you they are indebted for What ever strength or beauty they possess. 'cen kings and ministers are forgotten, when the force and direction of personal satire is no longer understood, and when measures are only felt in their remotest consequences, this book'will, I believe, he found to contain principles worthy to be trans mitted to posterity. When you leave the unimpaired heredi tary freehold to your children, you do but half your duty. Both liberty and property are precarious, unless the pos sessors have sense and spirit enough to defend them. This is not the language Of vanity. If I am a vain man, my gratification lies within a narrow circle. I am the sole depository Of my own secret, and it shall perish with me.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
