Excerpt: ... has his particular manner of playing; an allusion, which may not unaptly be applied to writing. I have been told by some of my friends, that my play is sharp; I believe it may be so; but were I to endeavour to alter it, I could not play at all. I trust, however, that my friends will vouch for me, that whatever sharpness there may be in my style, there is no rancour in my heart. On reading over what I have written, I could not but lament that there should be any controversy between us. Controversy at best is but a rough game, and in some points not unlike the ancient tournaments; where friends and acquaintance, merely for a trial of skill, and love of victory, with all civility and courtesy tilted at each others breasts--tried to unhorse each other--grew more eager and animated--drew their swords--struck where the armour was weakest, and where the steel would bite to the quick--and all without without animosity. As these doughty combatants of the days of yore, after many a hard blow given and received, met together in perfect cordiality at the famous round tables; so I hope we often shall meet at the tables of our common friends. And as they, forgetting the smarts of their mutual wounds, gaily discoursed of the charms of beauty, of feats of arms, of various stratagems of war, of the disposition of troops, the choice of ground, and ambuscades in woods and ravines--so we may talk of the many correspondent dispositions and stratagems in your milder art; of its broken picturesque ravines, of the intricacies and concealments of woods and thickets, and of all its softer, and more generally attractive beauties. Though I have already, perhaps, dwelt too long on that great principle, Connection, yet I cannot conclude this Letter without mentioning..., 1000, Subjects, 1, Arts & Photography, 2, Biographies & Memoirs, 3, Business & Money, 3248857011, Calendars, 4, Children's Books, 12290, Christian Books & Bibles, 4366, Comics & Graphic Novels, 5, Computers & Technology, 6, Cookbooks, Food & Wine, 48, Crafts, Hobbies & Home, 8975347011, Education & Teaching, 173507, Engineering & Transportation, 301889, Gay & Lesbian, 10, Health, Fitness & Dieting, 9, History, 86, Humor & Entertainment, 10777, Law, 17, Literature & Fiction, 173514, Medical Books, 18, Mystery, Thriller & Suspense, 20, Parenting & Relationships, 3377866011, Politics & Social Sciences, 21, Reference, 22, Religion & Spirituality, 23, Romance, 75, Science & Math, 25, Science Fiction & Fantasy, 4736, Self-Help, 26, Sports & Outdoors, 28, Teen & Young Adult, 5267710011, Test Preparation, 27, Travel, 283155, Books<
