Excerpt from The Orlando of Ariosto, Vol. 1 of 2: Reduced to XXIV Books; The Narrative Connected and the Stories Disposed in a Regular Series
Though many readers, from a predilection for works of imagination, will, notwithf'tand ing every difficulty, travel with great de light through the pages of Ariofto, yet there are likewife others, who having been fami liarized to the more regular compofition of Tafi'o, will feel the above objection in 'its full force. However thefe may 'be 'captivaited with the general variety of the poem, or may acknowledge the merit of the feveral parts, yet [bould they find their memory unpleafantly burthened, or their attention unhéceitarily diftraé'ted, they may probably lay afide the book for the mind that fecks only relaxation and amufem'ent, will riot often condefcend to employ its powers m develon the intricacies of fiction.
