Excerpt from The Works of the Right Honourable Joseph Addison, Esq., Vol. 3: Being Remarks on Several Parts of Italy, &C., In the Years 1701, 1702, 1703

My Lord,

There is a Pleasure in owning Obligations which it is an Honour to have received, but should I publish any Favours done me by your Lordship, I am afraid it would look more like Vanity, than Gratitude.

I had a very early Ambition to recommend my self to your Lordship"s Patronage, which yet encreas"d in me as I travell"d thro" the Countries, of which I here give Your Lordship some Account: For whatever great Impressions an Englishman must have of Your Lordship, they who have been conversant Abroad will find them still improved.
