Excerpt from Thackeray: A Study
But fallible as from its nature contemporary criticism is, prejudiced and careless as it too often has been, when contrasted with the criticism of the decade following the death of a great writer, when placed side by side with the mean ingless phrases that airily condemn, or feebly prophesy immortality, it assumes the aspect of sobriety and justice. Contemporary criticism has at least this merit, that it is an honest attempt Of the critic's own to apportion rewards and punishments. His hostility may be incurred, his sympathy may be enlisted, without adequate cause; he may not be able to appraise at their true value all these novel sensations, which a new and striking work is bound to generate in an active and reflective mind. In short he may err.
