The Rise and Progress of Sir Timothy Buncombe, Kt

Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Rise and Progress of Sir Timothy Buncombe, Kt: And M. P. An Extra-Moral Biography Critics of my story, "The Life of Thomas Wanless, Peasant," demanded my name in varying tones of menace, remonstrance, or entreaty. "Here is a fellow daring to say, anonymously, what is in him," some said. Others cried, "shocking," "monstrous," "cowardly," and what not. I take the present opportunity to thank these kind, earnest, virtuous, or angry persons for their most flattering curiosity, and to assure them that it is hard to deny a request so widely made. One consideration alone prevents me from yielding to the promptings of a - let us hope - pardonable vanity. These critics have not told me their names. I am, therefore, as much in the dark as they are; but, I hereby give them the assurance that when they reveal their great secret, I will not withhold my little one. That, surely, is a fair compact, and after volunteering to make it, I hope to hear no more complaints on this head. In the book I now commit to their wisdom my faithful friends will, I trust, find many better inducements to indignation - virtuous or other.
