For observation, mad cloister, or in the desert, will generally be as obscure as the one, and as barren as the other: but he that would paint with his pencil, must study originals, and not be over fearful of a little dust. In fact, ever nu thor is a far better judge of the pains that his e orts have cost him, than any reader can possibly be; but to what purpose he has taken those pains, this isa. Question on which his readers will not allow the eu thor a voice, nor even an opinion: from the tribunal of the public there is no appeal, and it is fit that it should be so, otherwise we 8 ould not only have riv are of ink expended in bad writing, but oceans more in defending it; for he that writes in abad style is sure to retort in a worse.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lacon: Or, Many Things in a Few Words: Addressed to Those Who Think There are three difficulties in authorship; - to write any thing worth the publishing - to find honest men to publish it - and to get sensible men to read it. Literature has now become a game: in which the Booksellers are the Kings; the Critics, the Knaves; the Public, the Pack; and the poor Author, the mere Table, or Thing played upon. For the last thirty years, the public mind has had such interesting and period incidents to witness, and to reflect upon, and must now anticipate some that will be still more momentous, that any thing like dullness or prosing in authorship, will either nauseate, or be refused; the realities of life have pampered the public palate with a diet so stimulating, that vapidity has now become as insipid as water to a dram-drinker, or sober sense to a fanatic. The attempts however of dullness, are constantly repeated, and as constantly fail. For the misfortune is that the Head of Dullness, unlike the tail of the torpedo, loses nothing of her benumbing and lethargising influence, by reiterated discharges; horses may ride over her, and mules and asses may trample upon her, but with an exhaustless and a patient perversity, she continues her narcotic operations even to the end.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1836 edition. Excerpt: ..., with all its lame conclusions and libertine consequences, falls a baseless fabric to the ground. Ignorance lies at the bottom of all human knowledge, and the deeper we penetrate, the nearer we arrive unto it. For what do we truly know, or what can we clearly affirm, of any one of hose important things upon which all our reasonings must of necessity be built--time and space, life and death, matter and mind? Of matter' and. of mind, one philosopher has no less absurdly than irrefutably, proved the non-existence of the first, and thousands have attempted to prove the annihilation of the last. Common sense however punishes all depaftures from her, by forcing those who rebel against her, into a desperate war with all facts and experience, and into a civil war still m6re terrible, with each other and with themselves; for we retain both our bodies and our souls, in spite of the skeptics, and find, 'That parts destroyed diminish not the whole, Though Berkley take the body, Hume the soul.' But it is not to be wondered at, that those workmen should blunder who know so little of their tools, and that untenable theories, should be the consequence of building by rules whos principles are erroneous, and with materials, whose properties are not understand; for the tower of Babel is not the only monument of human pride, - that has failed from haman ignorance. Alas! what is man? i Whether he be deprived of that light whicn is from on high, or whether he discard it, a frail and trembling creature; standing on time, that bleak and narrow isthmus between two eternities, he sees nothing but impenetrable darkness on the one hund, and doubt, distrust, and conjecture still more perplexing, on the other. Most gladly would he take an observation, as to...
