Peregrine in France: A Lounger's Journal, in Familiar Letters to His Friend

IN FAMILIAR LETTERS TO HIS FRIEND.
And in his brain,
Which is as dry as the remainder biscuit
After a voyage, he hath strange places cramm'd
With observation—the which he vents
In mangled forms .
As you like it.

The friend who has ventured to send these letters to the press feels it necessary to state, in apology for the insufficiency of such a trifle to meet the public eye, that they are actually published without the knowledge of Peregrine (who is still abroad) and chiefly with the view of giving copies to the numerous friends by whom he is so justly regarded. The editor, therefore, relying on the indulgence of those friends, humbly also deprecates the stranger critic's censure, both for poor Peregrine and himself.
Paris, December 14, 1815.
