Excerpt from The Ragiad, Vol. 1 of 2: A Poetical Discourse on Rags; With Occasional Flashes at Men and Things
Ragamuffin (for these may not know the import of their language any farther than they are mouth-pieces of their seniors but for old persons to give themselves to such contemptible manifestations of their prejudices, as have been evinced of late, on certain occasions, within this city, towards persons who serve paper-makers with rags, neither argues good taste nor good sense though some of these, no doubt, think themselves possessed of all the learning of the schools, without having looked within a book and justified in reflecting upon persons of this class, from the polish their own minds manifest in contradistinction to what they suppose a ragman oughtto be possessed of. It is unnecessary to say anything more on this head in this place. I will just say it is only intended a part of this poem shall go before the public at this time; and, with their approbation, the rest.
