First, I reasoned with myself, that a just collec- tion of oaths, repeated as often as the fashion re- quires, must have enlarged this volume, at least, to double the bulk ; whereby it would not only double the charge, but likewise make the volume less commodious for pocket carriage. Secondly, I have been assured by some judicious i friends, that themselves have known certain ladies to take offence (whether seriously or no) at too great a profusion of cursing and swearing, even when that kind o...f ornament was not improperly in- troduced; which, I confess, did startle me not ai little; having never observed the like in the com- pass of my own several acquaintance, at least for twenty years past. However, I was forced to sub- mit to wiser judgments than my own. Thirdly, as this most useful treatise is calculated % for all future times, I considered, in this maturity of my age, how great a variety of oaths I have heard since I began to study the world, and to know men and manners. And here I found it to be true what I have read in an ancient poet.
