Every Sect Clamors For Toleration When It

The Business Of The Dramatist Is To Keep Himself Out Of Sight, And To Let Nothing Appear But His Characters. As Soon As He Attracts Notice To His Personal Feelings, The Illusion Is Broken.

A Church Is Disaffected When It Is Persecuted, Quiet When It Is Tolerated, And Actively Loyal When It Is Favored And Cherished.

History Distinguishes What Is Accidental And Transitory In Human Nature From What Is Essential And Immutable.

We Know No Spectacle So Ridiculous As The British Public In One Of Its Periodical Fits Of Morality.

Re: Robert Montgomery's Poems His Writing Bears The Same Relation To Poetry Which A Turkey Carpet Bears To A Picture. There Are Colours In The Turkey Carpet Out Of Which A Picture Might Be Made. There Are Words In Mr. Montgomery's Writing Which, When Disposed In Certain Orders And Combinations,have Made, And Will Make Again, Good Poetry. But, As They Now Stand, They Seem To Be Put Together On Principle In Such A Manner As To Give No Image Of Anything In The Heavens Above, Or In The Earth Beneath, Or In The Waters Under The Earth.
