Strona 230 - I have protracted my work till most of those whom I wished to please have sunk into the grave, and success and miscarriage are empty sounds : I therefore dismiss it with frigid tranquillity, having little to fear or hope from censure or from praise, (From Preface to Dictionary.) LETTER TO LORD CHESTERFIELD <jth February 1755.
