Selections from The Observator by Roger L'Estrange Augustan Reprint Society. Publication no. 141. To the READER . 1687? MOst Prefaces are (Effectually) Apologies ; and neither the Book , nor the Author , one Jot the Better for them. If the Book be Good , it will not Need an Apology ; If Bad , it will not Bear One: For where a man thinks, by Calling himself Noddy , in the Epistle , to Atone , for Shewing himself to be one, in the Test ; He does (with Respect to the Dignity of an Author ) but Bind up Two Fools in One Cover . But there's no more Trusting some People with Pen , Ink , and Paper , then the Maddest Extravagants in Bedlam , with Fire , Sword , or Poyson . He that Writes Ill , and Sees it, why does he Wrote on ? And, with a kind of Malice Prepense , Murder the Ingenious part of Mankind ? He that Really Believes he Writes Well ; why does he pretend to Think Otherwise? Now take it which way you please, a man runs a Risque of his Reputation , for want, either of Skill , and Judgme . . .
