THE BUDGET, OR MORAL AND ENTERTAINING FRAGMENTS. REPRESENTING THE PUNISHMENT OF VICE, AND THE REWARD OF VIRTUE. LONDON: PRINTED FOR E, NEWBERY, THE CORNER OF ST. PAUL'S CHURCH-YARD, BY G. WOODFALL, NO. 22, PATERNOSTER ROW, 1799. THE following pieces (excepting the ftory of JULIET, which is written by a gentleman, whose productions for the rifing generations have been refpectably received) are the firft literary efforts of a young author, and were the mere amusement of his leifure hours. From the fcrutinizing eye of criticism, he therefore hopes fome little allowance will be made. He will only further say, that the object he had in view was to inculcate the maxims of VIRTUE, and defeat the inroads of VICE, in which, if he has fucceeded in a few inftances only, his time will not have been mifpent. 2 CONS |
