Excerpt from The British Essayists, Vol. 42: With Prefaces, Historical and Biographical; Observer, No 44-83
I was born in Spain, the only son of a younger brother of an antient and noble house, which like many others of the same origin and persuasion had long been in the indispensable practice of conform ing to the established religion, whilst secretly and under the most guarded concealment every member of it without exception hath adhered to those opi nions, which have been the faith of our tribe from the earliest ages.
This I trust will account to you for my declining to expose my real name, and Justify the discretion of my assuming the fictitious one, by which 1 am now known to you.
