Sinossi
Excerpt from Hours in a Library
According to the high authority of Charles Lamb, it has sometimes happened 'that from no inferior merit in the rest, but from some superior good fortune in the choice 'of a subject, some single work' (of a particular author) shall have been suffered to eclipse, and cast into the shade, the deserts of its less fortunate brethren.' And after quoting the case of Bunyan's 'holy War,' as compared with the Pilgrim's Progress,' he adds that, 'in no instance has this excluding partiality been exerted with more unfairness than against What may be termed the secondary novels or romances of De Foe.' He proceeds to declare that there are at least four other fictitious narratives by the same.
