- " ... But the essay is the most compromising form of literature possible, and even such filmy confidences and trivial gaities as these write me down for what I am. Were they even critical in character, I would have that best of excuses, a difference of taste, but here I have had the audacity to attempt a discussion of life itself, upon which every reader will believe himself to be a competent critic."--Introduction.
