Book Description
Excerpt from Essays and Legal Cases, Vol. 6 of 10 The world, it is certain, never more abounded with authors than at present; nor is there any species more numerous than of those writers who deal forth their lucubrations in small parcels to the public, consisting partly of historical, and partly, to use their own word, of literary matter. So great, indeed, is their multitude, that Homer's simile of the bees gives us scarce too vast an idea of them. Some of them, again, fly abroad only every other day; some send forth their works once a week; others once a fortnight; and others more sparingly indulge us only at the end of every month with their labours.
