Excerpt from Narrative Remarks, Expository Notes, and Historical Criticisms: On the New England Historical and Genealogical Society, and Incidentally on the Massachusetts Historical Society
Like sophists why will you dispute With wisdom so, you do confute None but yourselves for shame be mute.
Charlatanism, or accident, may gain applause, genius may miss it. And who can be calm under slights and insults which he knows that he does not deserve.
