Excerpt from Chevalier De Versenai, Vol. 1 of 2: A Novel

I1: Would be an undertaking, perhaps not' hnworthy a mail of taste, to cast a retrospective view over the variations Which have taken place in the genius of our romances, and to mark, in follow; ing that interesting chain, the shedes of national character, the alterations it has undergone, the respective 1nfluence of manners upon writings, and of writings upon manners; the progress, the i'evo lutions, end the decay of gallantry amongst us.

After those almost fabulous ages of heroism and chivalry, during which love was rather a religious extacy than a prbfane delirium, rather-a superst'ition than a sentiment, came forth those-vo luminous archives, depicting characters void of probability; where the heroine eitacted trials of skill from all those Who presented themselves before her whilst the hero, more simple still than valorous.
