O knihe

Excerpt from Journals and Correspondence of Thomas Sedgewick Whalley, D. D., Of Mendip Lodge, Somerset, Vol. 2 of 2: Edited, With a Memoir and Illustrative Notes

My bookseller informed me, soon after the delivery of the books according to your direction, that the Milk-woman's Poems were not to be had at that period, being out of print. My opinion is in general yours upon that brilliant mischief, the Essay on Old Maids, at least in point of morality and generosity, both which I think it lamentably violates; but in ability I set it higher than you seem to do - indeed I think it has the wit and spirit of Voltaire's most brilliant compositions; and I find the pathos of Sterne in several of the beautiful little stories of the first volume. I shed rivers of tears over the history of poor Constantia, and her lacerated feelings.
