| | 1 | Author: | Johnson, Samuel | Add | | | Title: | The Rambler, sections 1-54 (1750); from The Works of Samuel Johnson, in Sixteen Volumes, Volume I  | | | | Published: | 1995 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | THE difficulty of the first address on any new
occasion, is felt by every man in his transactions
with the world, and confessed by the settled and
regular forms of salutation which necessity has
introduced into all languages. Judgment was wearied
with the perplexity of being forced upon choice,
where there was no motive to preference; and it was
found convenient that some easy method of introduction
should be established, which, if it wanted
the allurement of novelty, might enjoy the security
of prescription. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
