Excerpt from Ruins of Ancient Cities, Vol. 1 of 2: With General and Particular Accounts of Their Rise, Fall, and Present Condition

I am very sensible, that it is not so much for a per son' 9 reputation to make use of other men' s labours, and that it is in a manner renouncing the name and quality of author. But I am not over-foml of that title, and shall be extremely well pleased, and think myself very happy, if I can but deserve the name of a good compiler; and supply my readers with a tolerable history, who will not be over-solicitous to inquire what hand it comes from, provided they are but pleased with it.
