Rationale of Reward. Preface Author to Editor
On that occasion In that work, an answer will be given may be seen/found at any
rate to both your queries: whether to add any more perhaps also a recantation/refutation of some comments
for I know not yet whether I can find more — a recantation of some of
here and there the lunacy of early youth I am not at this moment decided. As to reading
this work over throughout or in any considerable proportion it is what
I never did dare trust myself — the result would be the
endeavour to work it over again: and, in the of
so may distrusting that labour, with the delay attached to
it, would have an end. Accident, I know not in what
way, has however bid my pointed attention to a few other passages
If I point the they which at the moment they have called forth, the reader
will see the an another doing justice upon himself justice or at
least what to him seems justice, not to bid upon himself: sparing
himself almost as little on one side as the adversary certain adversaries
would on the other. It would be amusing enough if in those
same, or any other adversaries I the author should find so many defenders:
defenders of his former against his present self. But for any such expectation there seems little ground.
of this there seems little ground
any such amusement
I have no expectation that the public have will be afforded
for the writer in question if what I hear of them be true true and
have here as liking for details, and find it more at some
more convenient and agreeable to do employ the business by assumption and
vituperation] Assumption and vituperation are not only whatever most
to the hosts of the class of customers like best what the best customers best like best serve for
on all occasions, repose at in the neither thought nor talent
for its purpose, and may be [by ] without looking thought
into the question either from writer or reader, require as little talent and there lies a world of trouble. The use
of their instrument I have or supposed to have been carried to little
short of the highest pitch of perfection: and there never was
one, and they have the advantage of more wearing out.
But I am running into tittle tattle it is true I should
conclude ......
I suspect then that it must be by this author's own hand if
by any that the correction requisite will be applied to any of the
errors of his youth. But at any time, any person as who may happen to think it worth his while the trouble
may have received beforehand
any unspecified number. As to the terms language be it rough or smooth, my wish is that I would beg of him he would execute his own amendment.
