Excerpt from The Analysis of Human Nature, or an Investigation of the Means to Improve the Condition of the Poor, and to Promote the Happiness of Mankind in General, Vol. 1 of 2: Comprising, Also, the Progress and Present State of Political, Moral, and Religious Society
Books have certainly a powerful tendency to do either good or evil, and it must be a stupid book that will neither produce the one efl'ect nor the other. It is therefore necessary to be careful as to what books we read, and what books we send into the world to be read; but it is also rather unfair to judge of a work entirely by the reputation and dignity of its author; for every one must have a commencement in fame, or he could not acquire reputation. It cannot always drop down to us from the clouds, or he a fortuitous or spontaneous acquire ment; nor does it always descend by the right of inheritance; then, if rightly judged, it should be the reward of individual merit, independent of prejudice or partial favour; but, unhap pily, this principle is not always adhered to.
