Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Autobiography, Times, Opinions, and Contemporaries of Sir Egerton Brydges, Vol. 1 of 2 As to my own letters, I must intreat that, if they are still remaining in the hands of my literary friends, they will at my death (which from my age must be now approaching) be cautious of what they print, as many of them have been written under passionate suffering, and perhaps contain gloomy Opinions and complaints which may have passed away. I remember Mrs. Dorset said the same to me as to her sister Charlotte Smith's letters, when I called on her, by Hayley's desire, after the eloquent novelist's death. The sanction of the approbation of eminent per sons, - eminent for genius, talent, learning, and virtue, -is an advantage which it is the duty of one so little popular as I have been, not to forego. The mass of readers, even if they think well of an author, are afraid to express their good opinion unless they have good authority for it.
