OverviewExcerpt from Critical and Miscellaneous Writings We shall avoid the fruitless task of dwell ing on the defects of this author, or the ge neral insipidity of his lovers, on the want of skill in the development of his plots, on the clumsiness of his prefatory introductions, or the impotence of many of his conclusions. He has done his country and his nature no ordinary service. He has brought romance almost into our own times, and made the nobleness of humanity familiar to our daily thoughts. He has enriched history to us by opening such varied and delicious vistas to our gaze, beneath the range of its loftier events and more public characters. May his intel lectual treasury prove exhaustless as the purse of Fortunatus, and may he dip into it unspar ingly for the delight and the benefit of his species!
