If the Authors who write Romances in this new Tafte, would always adhere to the Truth, and never fuffer themfelves to be perverted to any new Mode (for this is what Works of Wit are liable to) their Writings wou'd probably be as ufeful in forming the Manners as Comedy, becaufe they wou'd render Romances the Picture of Human Life.
