Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Manuscript, Vol. 1 This folio of four pages, happy work! What is it but a map of busy life, Its fluctuations, and its vast concerns? - Cowper. In trying to interest the community, enlightened by the wisdom of so many minds, and amused by such innumerable sources of enjoyment, it is difficult to avoid the extremes of overdoing the matter, through anxiety, on the one hand; or degenerating into common-place, from the fear of being thought too conceited, on the other. Attributing the conduct of every writer to avarice and vanity, rather than a desire of promoting the public good, the repulsive crowd quickly lower the pretensions of every literary hero, which not only chastises him for being wiser than themselves, but tends to raise them higher in the opposite scale of discernment and learning.
