Excerpt from Considerations in Answer to the Pamphlet: Containing Mr. Madison's Instructions to Mr. Munroe

IN a country where the professions of Printer and Editor, are combined with the pursuits of criticism, it 'requires more than common consideration, before a writer ventures to disclose his opinions to the world and publicly avow his sentiments. Amidst the various consolidation of employ 'ments that frequently characterize Americans, I deem the above to be more prejudicial and 1njurious to truth and reason, than any other cause that can be alledged. In sta ting this opinion, I hope not to be misunderstood, as con veying a stigma on the liberty of the press, or the erudition of a critic, for on the contrary, I am too sensible of the ben efits of the one, while I know how to appreciate the value of the other, so it is only the abuse and not the use of a good that I consider and regret. Candor from the critic has gen erally been deemed a futile and fallacious expectation, though there are many whose abilities command our respect are we then to look for it here? Where it is interwoven with interest, speculations, designs and politics - where it appears like a motley vest of fiery red, jealous green, or envious yellow, displaying a lustring die, constantly misleading our senses and deceiving dar sight.
