Excerpt from Classic Tales, Serious and Lively, Vol. 2: With Critical Essays on the Merits and Reputation of the Authors
It is a pity, that with all these powers of ridicule so formidable to human folly, the author should have subjected himself to a licentious fancy, and have delighted in loose descriptions, unnecessary to a true wit, and unworthy a philosopher. If there be any fault in his writings more contempt ible than this, it is the coolness with which he defends the same licentiousness in LA fontmne. [t is the last excuse for a writer's voluptuous ideas.

Excerpt from Classic Tales, Serious and Lively, Vol. 2: With Critical Essays on the Merits and Reputation of the Authors

But while I am talking of happiness, I should not forget Candid, which however it may sometimes fail in its language, certainly inculcates morality in its general effect. All the characters in.
