Excerpt from Lacon, or Many Things in Few Words: Addressed to Those Who Think
Bhorses may ride over her, and mules and asses may trample upon her, but with an exhaustless and a patient perversity, she continues her narcotic opera tions even to the end. In fact, the Press was never so powerful in quantity, and so weak in quality, as at the present day; if applied to it, the simile of Virgil must be reversed, Non trunco sedfrondibus qfl'icit Umbrum. It is in Literature as in Finance - much Paper and much Poverty may cc-exist.

Excerpt from Lacon: Or Many Things in Few Words: Addressed to Those Who Think
There are three difficulties in authorship; - to write any thing worth the publishing - to find honest men to publish it - and to get sensible men to read it Literature has now become a game; in which the Booksellers are the Kings; the Critics, the Knaves; the Public, the Pack; and the poor Author, the mere Table, or Thing, played upon.
For the last thirty years, the public mind has had such interesting and rapid incidents to witness, and to reflect upon, and must now anticipate some that will be still more momentous, that any thing like dulness or prosing in authorship, will either nauseate, or be refused; the realities of life have pampered the public palate with a diet so stimulating, that vapidity has now become as insipid as water to a dram-drinker, or sober sense to a fanatic.
The attempts however of dulness, are constantly repeated, and as constantly fail.
