Excerpt from Thirty Letters on Various Subjects
When an unknown author presents his work to the public, the form of Letters has some advantages: It seems to excuse deep definition, and admits of a looseness of style as properly suited to an discovered that the letters are not real, the reader is less disposed to make allowances. - He expects greater regularity and more correctness. The author, conscious of these expectations, in endeavouring not to disappoint them, abates of his familiarity, and arranges his arguments; which, not agreeing with the freedom of the first design, his book becomes a kind of mongrel performance - more correct, but less characteristic.
