Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Letters of the British Spy In reprinting a portion of the literary productions of Mr. Wirt, the publishers have thought that a few particulars might not be unacceptable to the reader, of an individual who has long been familiar to the public in other positions very different from that of the writer or mere man of letters. They are indebted, in great part, for the opportunity of giving these details, to materials collected by another hand, some time since, and for another purpose. The present occasion may excuse a sketch which other obvious considerations, however, may render somewhat meager. Biography has a delicate office while her subjects are yet living, as she may be accused of flattery on the one hand, and, on the other, may be thought to misplace and mistime the impartial censure which she, no less than History, owes to truth, when, like the Egyptian tribunal, she sits in judgment on the dead.
