“The Nature of Familiar Letters, written, as it were, to the Moment, while the Heart is agitated by Hopes and Fears, on Events undecided, must plead an Excuse for the Bulk of a Collection of this Kind.

“Writers and politicians are natural rivals. Both groups try to make the world in their own images; they fight for the same territory.”
