JAMES PLATT,

AUTHOR OF "LIFE," "MORALITY," AND "PROGRESS."

"If I might give a short hint to an impartial writer, it would be to tell him his fate. If he
resolves to venture upon the dangerous precipice of telling unbiassed truth, let him proclaim war
with mankind-neither to give nor take quarter. If he tells the crimes of great men, they fall
upon him with the iron hands of the law; if he tells them of virtue, when they have any, then the
mob attacks him with slander; but, if he regards truth, let him expect martyrdom on both sides,
and then he may go on fearless."-DE FOE.
