Excerpt from Despotism or the Fall of the Jesuits, a Political Romance: Illustrated by Historical Anecdotes

An historical introduction to a fictitious Narrative, has been found sometimes necessary to authorise the novelty of its events its characters, and its feelings; but a story raising only our transient astonishment, may still fail, by its remoteness from our experience, to excite our sympathy; and read like the epigram, for its close, our attention terminates with our curiosity. Should the Fable, however, be found as full of truth, as of wonder, it may claim regard for something more valuable than itself.
