Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lacon: Or, Many Things in a Few Words: Addressed to Those Who Think There are three difficulties in authorship; - to write any thing worth the publishing - to find honest men to publish it - and to get sensible men to read it. Literature has now become a game: in which the Booksellers are the Kings; the Critics, the Knaves; the Public, the Pack; and the poor Author, the mere Table, or Thing played upon. For the last thirty years, the public mind has had such interesting and period incidents to witness, and to reflect upon, and must now anticipate some that will be still more momentous, that any thing like dullness or prosing in authorship, will either nauseate, or be refused; the realities of life have pampered the public palate with a diet so stimulating, that vapidity has now become as insipid as water to a dram-drinker, or sober sense to a fanatic. The attempts however of dullness, are constantly repeated, and as constantly fail. For the misfortune is that the Head of Dullness, unlike the tail of the torpedo, loses nothing of her benumbing and lethargising influence, by reiterated discharges; horses may ride over her, and mules and asses may trample upon her, but with an exhaustless and a patient perversity, she continues her narcotic operations even to the end.
