Excerpt from Pencillings by the Way: Written During Some Years of Residence and Travel in France, Italy, Greece, Asia Minor, Turkey, and England
Every impartial rea you the at present is surrounded with every incentive to a no ble ambition. With youth and health to sustain him under labor; with much knowledge of the world ac quired by travel and observation, to draw upon; with a mature style, and a hand practised in various forms of composition, Mr. Willie’s genius ought to take a wider and higher range than it has ever done before. We trust we shall meet him again, erelong. In the; paths of literature; and we trust that he will take it kindly, ii’ we express the hope, that he will lay aside those tendencies to exaggeration, and to an unhealthy tone of sentiment, which mar the beauty of some of his otherwise most agreeable books.
