   • 1760 November 1, Horace Mann [Sir Horace Mann, 1st Baronet], “Horace Mann on Sterne’s ‘Humbugging’”, quoted in Alan B. Howes, editor, Laurence Sterne: The Critical Heritage, London; New York, N.Y.: Routledge, 1971 (reprinted 1995), ISBN 978-0-415-13425-5, page 104:

     Extract from a letter to Horace Walpole, written from Florence, in Horace Walpole's Correspondence with Sir Horace Mann, ed. W. S. Lewis, Warren Hunting Smith, and George L. Lam (1960), p. 446. […] You will laugh at me, I suppose, when I say I don't understand Tristram Shandy, because it was probably the intention of the author that nobody should. It seems to me humbugging, if I have a right notion of an art of talking or writing that has been invented since I left England.

     My Friends, and Dear Countrymen, do not discard, / The Song and advice of a Patriot Bard, / Who wants you to listen to Cambria's praise, / To keep up old Customs, and walk in old ways, / So sung in Humbugging, and Tomfoolery.
