Description:Excerpt from At Home and Abroad, Vol. 1 of 3: Or, Memoirs of Emily De Cardonnell; A Novel "Un Auteur," says the Prince de Ligne, "un Auteur est pauvre diable qui fait face a dix mille hommes. Comment ne seroit-il pas battu? Il ne peut pas meme se defendre; il ne voit pas ceux qui Vattaqueint." He stands forth helpless, like an unhappy wretch in the pillory to be pelted by all the missiles of popular assault or wanton malice, without even the power to shrink from the merciless shower, - far less to throw in return a single stone. He is a mark set up to be shot at, and although transfixed on all sides with the arrows of criticism, yet vainly will he essay to draw out one barbed shaft. The Critics indeed think of him only as a subject to make sport for their readers, for whose amusement they torture him; and they review his book - not to give an impartial account of it, - but to write a clever article at his expense. They have no more mercy upon a poor author, than a sportsman has upon the frightened hare he starts; and vain alike would be the petition to spare either victim.This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
