It would be ungenerous for me to admit that she was of that order and kind. Yes, novels; for I will not adopt that ungenerous and impolitic custom so common with novel-writers, of degrading by their contemptuous censure the very performances, to the number of which they are themselves adding -- joining with their greatest enemies in bestowing the harshest epithets on such works, and scarcely ever permitting them to be read by their own heroine, who, if she accidentally take up a novel, is sure to turn over its insipid pages with disgust. He is selfish, he is ungrateful, he is ungenerous -- he is only twenty, and he has the worst failings of a mean old age already. |
