Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Thaddeus of Warsaw, Vol. 1 of 2 Having attempted a work of four volumes, it is natural that the consideration of so much time and thought, as must have been spent in its execution, should occasion to the author some anxiety respecting its fate; therefore before the reader favours the tale itself with his attention, I beg leave to offer him an account of its plan. Agreeably to the constant verdict of good taste, I have ever believed the novels of Richardson to be unequalled. Their pure morality, and their unity of design, which might well entitle them to be called epic poems, in prose, have equally been the objects of my respect and admiration. I see the trials and triumph of Chastity manifested in the person of Pamela. With the same trials and triumphs Piety in her brightest garb, is exhibited in the character of Clar rissa. And in Sir Charles Grandison, we have a most attractive and charming example of every Christian virtue. The contemplation of such a model, tempted me to imitation. The pleasure that I found in the employment; the leisure that I possessed to pursue my pleasure; and the eagerness with which the mind prosecutes, and endeavours to accomplish a favourite scheme, gradually, conducted me to the end. Wishing to portray a character which prosperity could not intoxicate, nor adversity depress, I chose magnanimity as the subject of my story.
