Synopsis
Excerpt from Fables of Aesop and Others: Translated Into English; With Instructive Applications, and a Print Before Each Fable
Now, though this imaginary Banquet ofpiulm-ré does not carry with it the Weight of a ferions Billory, yet we may take it for granted, that he introduced nothing in his fifiitious Scene, which might contradiét either the written or traditionary Life offli/op but rather chofe to make every Thing agree with it. Be that as it will, this is the Sum of the Account which we have to give of him. Nor, indeed, is it material for us to know the little trifling Circumtlances of his Life; as whether he lived at Samar or Atbenr, whether he was a Slave or a F ree man, whether handfome or ugly. He Has left us a Le gacy in his Writings that will preferve his Memory dear and perpetual among us: What we have to do, there fore, is to thew ourfelves worthy of fo valuable a Pre fent, and to atl, in all Refpetts, as near as we can to the Will and Intention of the Donor. They who are governed by Reafon, need no other Motive than the mere Goodnefs ofa Thing to incite them to the Prac tice ofit. But Men', for the molt Part, are fo fuperti cial in their Enquiries, that they take all upon Trutt and have no Tatte for any Thing but what 15 fupported by the Vogue of others and which it is inconfittent with the F albion of the World not to admire.
