Book excerpt: Excerpt from Richard Savage, Vol. 1 of 3: A Romance of Real Life A few words only will be necessary to the introduction of the following Work. It is by no means of importance that the reader should be informed how this autobiographical memoir of Richard Savage fell into my hands, and thence came into the possession of the publisher. Perhaps it is a secret not hastily to be disclosed; perhaps it is a secret not worth the telling. This, however, may be said respecting it: - I found it in no old oak-chest, - I purloined it from no library of "a certain nobleman," - I purchased it from no cheesemonger, who told me that a person who had evidently seen better days, came into his shop last week, and with a heavy sigh laid the MS. upon the counter, and stickling for a turn of the scale, and the highest current price, sold it as waste-paper for one and eightpence.
