To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But if an author unfortunately wants talents for d by Google NO. 178. WORLD. 209 this kind of writing, there is nothing left for him, that I know of, but to die as fast as he can, that his works may survive him. But the disadvantage, even in this case is, that common and natural deaths are but very httle talked of; so that a man may give up the ghost to no manner of purpose ; it is therefore most earnestly to be recommended to all authors who are ambitious of sudden and lasting fame, that they ...set about some device to get them- selves hanged. The sessions-paper is more univer- sally read than any other of the papers, and the deaths it records are more authentic and interesting.
A good dying-speech would be an excellent preface to an author's works, and make everybody pur- chasers. An advertisement like the following could never fail of exciting curiosity : — " This day are published the poetical, moral, and entertaining works of Thomas Crambo, Esq. ; now under sentence of death in Newgate, for a rape and murder." Under these circumstances, indeed, an author may taste of fame before death, and take his leap from the cart, with this comfortable assurance, that he has embraced the only opportunity in his power of making a provision fqr his family.
