Excerpt from Pelham or the Adventures of a Gentleman, Vol. 1 of 3
I believe if we were to question every author upon the subject of his literary grievances, we should find that the most frequent of all complaints, was less that of being unappreciated, than that of being misunderstood. None of us write perhaps without some secret object, for which, the world cares not a straw: and while each reader fixes his peculiar moral upon a book, no one, by any chance, hits upon that which the author had in his own heart designed to inculcate.
