Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of Ireland: Containing a Compendious Account of Her Woes, Afflictions and Suffering, With a Direct Reference to Her Political Renovation A man who is unknown to popularity, or whose literary productions have not received the sanction and approbation of literary men, should be cautions in issuing any thing in the form of a written production, before an enlightened and discriminating community. He should possess a large share of literary attainments, together with an admixture of natural talent, as a collateral aid, in order to place his reputation as an author, beyond the reach, or in other words, inaccessible to the envy of reproachful criticism and calumny. In Europe, a man who is confident he possesses the aforesaid combination, and wants to become known as an author, quakes, fearing the sarcastic, severe and reproachful criticism of literary men. European writers, who become celebrated by means of extensive erudition, sublime ideas, and indefatigable efforts, have been assigned by distinction, seats in the temple of fame; and such elevation, has been affirmed and ratified, by the approbation of an admiring community; those men, not thinking of the rubbers, impediments and difficulties they met with themselves, are jealous of other adventurers, who aspire and thirst for the same elevation, and would rather retard, impede and contaminate the progress and proficiency of other adventurers, than accelerate them. It is not the case in our land of freedom; a man possessing the feeble elements of literature, and is inspired by the presumptuous hope of signalizing himself as an author, has no such difficulties to meet with.
