Excerpt from The English Reader, or Pieces in Prose and Verse: Selected From the Best Writers; Designed to Assist Young Persons to Read With Propriety and Effect, to Improve Their Language and Sentiments, and to Inculcate Some of the Most Important Principles of Piety and Virtue The Author has endeavoured to relieve the grave and serious parts of his collection. By the occasional admission of pieces Which amuse as well as instruct. If, however, an of his readers should think it contains too great a proportion o the former, it may be some apology to observe, that in the existing publications design ed for the perusal of young persons, the preponderance is greatly on the side of ga and amusing productions. Too much atten tion may be pai to this medium of improvement. When the imagination, of youth es eoiflly, is much entertained, the sober dic tates of the understan ing' are regarded with indifference; and the influence of good affections is either feeble, or transient. A temperate use of such entertainment seems therefore requisite, to afford proper scope for the operations of the understanding and the heart. The reader will perceive, that the Compiler has been solicitous to recommend to young persons, the perusal of the sacred Scrip tures, by interspersing through his work some of the most beauti ful and interesting passages of those invaluable writings. To ex cite an early taste and veneration for this cat rule of life, is a point of so high importance, as to warrant e attempt to promote it on every proper occasion.
