Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Moral for Authors, as Contained in the Autobiography of Eureka: A Manuscript Novel, and Discovered In submitting this "Moral" to the reflection of the reader, a few words may not be inappropriate in explanation of its object, although there is no absolute necessity of divulging it through the chapter of apologies usually contained in an "Introduction." There are so many intermediate points between a direct communication with the Public and myself - being an obscure bundle of Manuscripts without a name - that I deem it necessary to make a cross-cut over those who intercept us - viz.: the Authors, the Critics, and the Publishers - those three great subordinates upon the Railway of the Intellect - the mighty Press! I am induced to adopt this plan, or take this route (somewhat out of the usual track), not from any hostility I bear this respectable monopoly, but in consequence of the crowded state of the Intellectual Cars on the different lines. The locomotive power, rushing at such a desperate literary rate - throwing off so many thousand book-passengers in a day - and running over so many thousand Pedestrian readers in its speed - very much to the detriment of their minds if not in imminent peril of their lives - that I am admonished to adopt this precautionary method in travelling into the affections of the Public - I mean that of running over some of their old acquaintances, if not "accidentally killing" some of their particular friends! If I have been over-zealous in sounding my rail-road whistle (otherwise my trump of Fame), in solicitude for the safety of some of the public´s benefactors - the Publishers - to enable them to clear the track, they must not esteem it too great an immunity from the "fatal accident" of being run over with some of their passengers.
