Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters From Mrs. Palmerstone to Her Daughter, Vol. 3 of 3: Inculcating Morality by Entertaining Narratives But a young person who can so well point out those difficulties will soon overcome them. I remember that, when I was of your age, I adopted a method from which I derived considerable improvement. I read with attention one of Mr. Addison´s papers in The Spectator: I then closed the book, but carefully kept the subject in my mind, and took it for my next theme; which, when finished, I placed apart, and at my leisure compared it with the composition by which it had been suggested; for I did not attempt to imitate Mr. Addison´s style, or to follow his thoughts closely, but simply and in my best manner to express my own on the same moral subject. You will be able to judge of the imperfections of my essays. But I was not discouraged: I preserved my paper; and some weeks after, without referring to it, I wrote a second on the same subject, which together with the former I again compared with my author.
