<p><i>Silence Dogood, No. 1</i>  
<p><i>To the Author of the</i> New-England Courant.  
<p><i>Sir,</i> 
<p>It may not be improper in the first Place to inform your 
Readers, that I intend once a Fortnight to present them, by 
the Help of this Paper, with a short Epistle, which I 
presume will add somewhat to their Entertainment.  
<p>And since it is observed, that the Generality of People, 
now a days, are unwilling either to commend or dispraise 
what they read, until they are in some measure informed who 
or what the Author of it is, whether he be <i>poor</i> or 
<i>rich</i>, <i>old</i> or <i>young</i>, a <i>Schollar</i> 
or a <i>Leather Apron Man</i>, &amp;c. . . .
