Ir may not be absolutely required, but custom proves, that it may be allowable for an author on laying his production before the public to say a few words rather personal to himself, at the same time that he seizes the opportunity of saying a word or two concerning his production. Indeed it seems almost a question, whether good manners may not require some little ceremony of this sort; and whether it may not become the author to feel on presenting himself, somewhat like the embarrassment of an intruder, and like one who has to apologize to a large party, for disturbing them in the enjoyment of that repose, which is a natural state, and the natural right of all parties, by venturing to come forward unasked, and propose a subject for their consideration. For it is not merely the subject and its claim to be heard, but the author's motives and performance in relation thereto, that seem to owe an apology in this case: as, admitting the importance of the subject, the right of the individual to propose, and his success in proposing it, may well be questioned, if not the rather for its importance. And so delicate a part is this apology; that, while it embraces two considerations, v. g., motives and performance, one hardly knows how to dwell on either; the first especially, considering whose motives they are that one has to embellish. b |
