<p>AS it is possible the mere English Reader may have a
different Idea of Romance with the Author of these little
Volumes; and may consequently expect a kind of
Entertainment, not to be found, nor which was even
intended, in the following Pages; it may not be improper to
premise a few Words concerning this kind of Writing which I
do not remember to have seen hitherto attempted in our
Language.
<p>The EPIC as well as the DRAMA is divided into Tragedy and
Comedy. Homer, who was the Father of this Species of Poetry,
gave us a Pattern of both these, tho' that of the latter
kind is entirely lost; which Aristotle tells us, bore the
same relation to Comedy which his Iliad bears to . . .
