Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Life of the Late Mr. Jonathan Wild the Great: With the Author's Preface, and an Introduction But in his books and out of them, in his cups, and in the sober senses which brought him the anguish and remorse of a strong mind conscious of its own weaknesses and shortcomings, one seeks in vain for any Henry Fielding but that which bears the mint-mark of an honest man. Not only honest, too, but generous as just, kindly, con siderate, unselfish, full of the sweetness of a noble nature, which the abundant poison of an ignoble age and society could not spoil. He will give any man his purse, says Thackeray he can't help kindness and profusion. He may have low tastes, but not a mean mind. He ad mires with all his heart good and virtuous men, stoops to no attery, bears no rancor, disdains all disloyal arts, does his public duty uprightly, is fondly loved by his family, and dies at his work.
