ON. II —— PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
There is a book, I have a book, printed in 1806. It was compiled (rather than written) by a country clergyman, who had before him (so he tells me on the title page) these objects:— To increase knowledge , to promote virtue , to discourage vice , and to furnish Topics for Innocent and Ingenious Conversation .
Hilaire Belloc
