Excerpt from The Press, or Literary Chit-Chat: A Satire Very few of the personages alluded to in the following pages are known to me otherwise than by their works. I bear them no ill-will, and trust they will peruse my rhimes with a similar freedom from malice. I have, as much as possible, avoided personalities. Books have been my game, not men - and I trust the propriety of such sporting remains unquestioned by the game-laws of public opinion. What a man publishes becomes the property of the public. He casts his seed abroad, and is answerable for the fruit. What will be the fruit of many of the publications noticed in my poem, God alone knows.
