Excerpt from The Works of G. P. R. James, Esq., Vol. 15: Revised and Corrected by the Author; With an Introductory Preface; The Little Ball O'fire

D'autres auteurs l'ont encore plus avili, (le roman, ) en y m�lant les tableaux degoutant da vice; et tandis que le premier avantage des fictions est de rassembler auteur de l'homme tout cc qui, dans la nature, pent lui servir de legon ou de modele, on a imagine qu'on tirerait une utilit� quelconque des peintures odieuses de mauvaises mmurs; comme si elles pouvaient jamais laisser le cceur qui les repousse, dans une situation aussi pure que le coeur qui les aurait toujours ignor�es. Mais nu roman tel qu'on peut le concevoir. Tel que nous en avons quelques modeles, est une des plus belles productions de l'esprit humain, une des plus infiuentes sur la morale des indi vidus, qui doit former ensuite les mmurs publiques. - madame DE Sum. Essaz'sur les Fictions.

Poca favilla gran fiamma seconda Forse diretro a me, con miglior voci Si preghera, perche Cirra. Risponda.
