Extract

I Beg leave, through your means, to convey to the Society my sentiments respecting the word Romance; a subject which has already employed the pen of the ingenious Mr. Drake, and others. I hope for this gentleman's particular indulgence, if I differ entirely from him, and join in opinion with Dr. Percy, and the learned Warton, in their sense of the word.
