Excerpt from Lucretia, or the Children of Night, Vol. 2 of 2

It is my mournful advantage over you that disquiets your happy calm. It is my experience that unsettles the Let this pass. I asked your opinion of me, because I wished to place at your service all that knowledge Of life which I possess. In proportion as you esteem me, you will accept or reject my counsels.
I have benefited by them already. It is the tone that you advised me to assume that gave me an importance I had not before with that Old formalist whose paper I serve, and whose prejudices I shock 5 it is to your criticisms that I owe the more practical turn of my writings, and the greater hold they have taken on the public.
