Excerpt from Critical and Miscellaneous Writings We shall avoid the fruitless task of dwell ing on the defects of this author, or the ge neral insipidity of his lovers, on the want of skill in the development of his plots, on the clumsiness of his prefatory introductions, or the impotence of many of his conclusions. He has done his country and his nature no ordinary service. He has brought romance almost into our own times, and made the nobleness of humanity familiar to our daily thoughts. He has enriched history to us by opening such varied and delicious vistas to our gaze, beneath the range of its loftier events and more public characters. May his intel lectual treasury prove exhaustless as the purse of Fortunatus, and may he dip into it unspar ingly for the delight and the benefit of his species!

Excerpt from Critical and Miscellaneous Writings, Vol. 1: Of T. Noon Talfourd WE regard the authors of the best novels and romances as among the truest benefactors Of their species. Their works have Often conveyed, in the most attractive form, les sons Of the most genial wisdom. But we do not prize them so much in reference to their immediate aim, or any indi vidual traits of nobleness with which they may inform the thoughts, as for their general tendency to break up that cold and debasing selfishness with which the souls Of so large a portion of mankind are encrusted. They give to a vast class, who by no means would be carried beyond the most contracted range of emotion, an interest in things out of themselves, and a perception of grandeur and of beauty, Of which otherwise they might ever have lived unconscious. Pity for fictitious sufferings is, indeed, very inferior to that sympathy with the universal heart of man, which inspires real self-sacrifice but it is better even to be moved by its ten derness, than wholly to be ignorant of the joy Of natural tears. How many are there for whom poesy has no charm, and who have derived only from romances those glimpses Of disinterested heroism, and ideal beauty, which alone make them less forlorn, in their busy career! The good house-wife, who is employed all her life in the severest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Miscellaneous Writings, Literary, Critical, Juridical, and Political of Joseph Story, LL. D: Now First Collected The present volume owes its existence to an unexpected request of the enterprising publishers, that I would permit them to print a collection of my miscellaneous writings. To such a request I could not but yield a ready compliance; and my chief solicitude has been to present to the public such only of my compositions, as might be deemed least unworthy of their favor. Some of them have never before appeared in print; and in regard to those, which have so appeared, I have availed myself of the present opportunity to correct many errors, by which they were unavoidably blemished, in consequence of my not having originally examined the proof-sheets, as they passed through the press. Although I am fully aware, that I can have little claim to ask the public indulgence for the defects, which may be discovered in these literary efforts, I trust, that I may be permitted in some measure to deprecate the severity of criticism by alluding to the fact, that they were all written, not in hours of literary leisure or ease, but in hours oppressed by the weight of professional business, and sometimes by anxious cares, at which the heart sickens, and the spirit faints.

Excerpt from Critical and Miscellaneous Essays That faculty of irony, of caricature, which often passes by the name of humour. But eon Sists chiefly in a certain superficial distortion or reversal of objects, and ends at best iii laughter. Bears no resemblance to the humour of Richter. A shallow endowment this; and often more a habit than an endowment. It is but a poor fraction of humour; or rather. It is the body to which the soul is wanting; any life it has being false. Artificial, and irrational. True humour springs not more from the head than from the heart; it is not contempt, its e'sence is love; it issues not in laughter.

Excerpt from Critical and Miscellaneous Essays: Collected and Republished; Vols. I. And II Of his Life of Richter these preliminary observations may be our excuse for saying but little. He brags much, in his Preface, that it is all true and genuine; for Richter's widow, it seems, had, by public advertisement, cautioned the world against it; another biography, partly by the illustrious de ceased himself, partly by Otto, his oldest friend and the appointed Editor of his Works, being actually in preparation. This rouses the indignant Spirit of Doring, and he stoutly asseverates that, his documents being altogether authentic, this biography is no pseudo-biography. With still greater truth he might have asseverated that it was no biography at all. Well are he and Hennings Of Gotha aware thatthis thing of shreds and patches has been vamped together for sale only. Except a few letters to Kunz, the Bamberg Bookseller, which turn mainly on the purchase of spectacles, and the jour neyings and freightage of two boxes that used to pass and repass between Richter and Kunz's circulating library; with three or four notes of Similar importance, and chiefly to other booksellers, there are no biographical documents here, which were not Open to all Europe as well as to Heinrich Doring. Indeed, very nearly one half of the Life is occupied with a description of the funeral and its appendages - how the sixty torches, with a number of lanterns and pitchpans, were arranged; how this Patrician or Professor followed that, through Friedrich Street, Chancery Street, and other streets of Bayreuth; and how at last the torches all went out, as Dr. Gabler and Dr. Spatzier were perorating (decidedly in bom bast) over the grave. Then, it seems, there were meetings held in various parts of Germany, to solemnize the memory of Richter; among the rest, one in the Museum of Frankfort-ou Mayn; where a Doctor Berne speaks another long Speech, if possible in still more decided bombast. Next come threnodies from all the four winds, mostly on very Splay-footed metre. The whole of which is here snatched from the kind oblivion of the newspapers, and lives in Settle's numbers one day more.

Excerpt from Critical and Miscellaneous Essays, Collected and Republished: Jean Paul Friedrich Richter; State of German Literature; Life and Writings of Werner To speak without figure, this mode of life writing has its disadvantages. For one thing, the composition cannot well be what the critics call harmonious and, indeed, Herr Dor. Ing's transitions are often abrupt enough. The hero changes his object and occupation from page to page, often from sen tence to sentence, in the most unaccountable way a pleasure journey, and a sickness 'of fifteen years, are despatched with equal brevity in a moment you find him married, and the father of three fine children. He dies no less suddenly -he is studying as usual, writing poetry, receiving visits, full of life and business, when instantly some paragraph Opens under him, like one of the trap-doors in the Vision of fliirza, and he drops, without note of preparation, into the shades below. Perhaps, indeed, not forever; we have instances of his rising after the funeral, and winding up his affairs. The time has been that, when the brains were out, the man would die but Doring orders these things differently.

Excerpt from Critical and Miscellaneous Essays, Vol. 4 It must, indeed, be acknowledged, in justice to the writers of whom we have spoken thus severely, that they were, to a great extent, the creatures of their age. And if it be asked why that age encouraged immorality which no other age Would have tolerated, we have no hesitation in answering that this great depravation of the national taste was the effect of the prevalence of Puritanism under the Common Wealth.
