Excerpt from A New History of Texas There is no class Of men in the world more to be pit ied, or more Obnoxious to all the courtesies and decencies of life, than illiberal critics. Their only aim is to discover or manufacture faults for others, and upon their success in such laudable business, depend their reputation and their revenues. As the end and aim of their being is to growl, were perfection itself permitted to Visit the earth, they would bark all the louder, and howl the more ludicrous, in, dread Of the doom Of starvation. N 0 sin in an Author is so provoking, as that of being above the reach of their shallow judgment - no crime so unpardonable as dignified contempt. Critics are an unconditional nuisance. False flights to the near-sighted. Dampers to the timorous. Ghosts to the over-sensitive and scrupulous genius. Im potent and despised by the high-minded, and they are positive torments to themselves. Heaven reform them, and pardon their sins!
