Página 166 - I declare here once for all, I describe not men, but manners ; not an individual, but a species. Perhaps it will be answered, Are not the characters then taken from life ? To which I answer in the affirmative ; nay, I believe I might aver, that I have writ little more than I have seen.
Página 64 - A Plain Account of the Nature and End of the Sacrament, a book written (if I may venture on the expression) with the pen of an angel, and calculated to...
Página xvi - Now, a comic romance is a comic epic poem in prose ; differing from comedy, as the serious epic from tragedy: its action being more extended and comprehensive; containing a much larger circle of incidents, and introducing a greater variety of characters.
Página xxiii - Adams, as it is the most glaring in the whole, so I conceive it is not to be found in any book now extant. It is designed a character of perfect simplicity ; and as the goodness of his heart will recommend him to the good-natured, so I hope it will excuse me to the gentlemen of his cloth ; for whom, while they are worthy of their sacred order, no man can possibly have a greater respect.
Página 23 - His hair was of a nut-brown colour and was displayed in wanton ringlets down his back. His forehead was high, his eyes dark and as full of sweetness as of fire.

Página 3 - IT is a trite but true observation, that examples work more forcibly on the mind than precepts: and if this be just in what is odious and blameable, it is more strongly so in what is amiable and praiseworthy.
Página xvii - And perhaps, there is one reason why a comic writer should of all others be the least excused for deviating from nature, since it may not be always so easy for a serious poet to meet with the great and the admirable; but life everywhere furnishes an accurate observer with the ridiculous. I have hinted this little, concerning burlesque; because I have often heard that name given to performances, which have been truly of the comic kind, from the author's having sometimes admitted it in his diction...
Página 246 - my definition of charity is, a generous disposition to relieve the distressed." — " There is something in that definition," answered Peter, " which I like well enough ; it is, as you say, a disposition, and does not so much consist in the act as in the disposition to do it.
Página 63 - Notwithstanding the purity of thy life, notwithstanding that constant rule of virtue and goodness in which you walked upon earth, still as thou didst not believe every thing in the true orthodox manner, thy want of faith shall condemn thee?
Página xvi - I will not scruple to say it may be likewise either in verse or prose: for tho' it wants one particular, which the critic enumerates in the constituent parts of an epic poem, namely, metre; yet, when any kind of writing contains all its other parts, such as fable, action, characters, sentiments, and diction, and is deficient in metre only, it seems, I think, reasonable to refer it to the epic...
