Excerpt from Thaddeus of Warsaw, Vol. 1 of 2
The contemplation of such a model, inspired me with emulation, while I remarked, With concern, that these good novels themselves had given place on the family reading-table, to light and often dangerous tales, from the French school, of false sentiment, and headlong passion. Observing also the mistakes which my young contemporaries make in their estimates of character and of life; how much they require that the difference between certain splendid vices, and the brilliant order of virtues, should be distinctly marked, with perhaps a too daring hand I here venture to sketch the sacred line.
