Publisher description
Excerpt from Flowers of Literature, for 1804, or Characteristic Sketches of Human Nature and Modern Manners: To Which Is Added a General View of Literature During That PeriodBht amidst our pride and gratitude for the approbation we have received, there is a cir cumstance on which we pique ourselves in.no trivial degree. We have always resisted, with persevering firmness, every temptation which we have been assailed by the lax mos rality of novelists, the pretended philanthropy1 of modern politicians, and the sophisticated reaq Bonings of some recent sentimentalists, .to adopt; in our volumes indelicate paragraphs, party.j absurdities, or disloyal inuendoes. By starch, i firmness, instead of having excited the censure of those tremendous potentates, the Reviewers. Whose, condemnation the most spirited writer. Cannot withstand, we have received their, unv qualified praise e our honest endeavours ia support of the altar and the throne, of pure morality and refined taste. The Monthly, the anti-jacobin, the British Critic, and the Critical Reviews; the Monthly Mirror, the Literary Journal, the Gentleman's and the European Magazines, have all spoken of our exertions in the most attering terms.
