Summary

 In which the author reflects with wry humour on the timing and reception of literary works, comparing books to seasons and acknowledging the peculiar tastes of readers and booksellers alike. He muses on the art of concluding a treatise, the folly of excessive profundity, and the challenge of sharing wit and invention in conversation, all while inviting the reader’s indulgence for moments of dulness and spleen.
