Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trials of the Heart Many characters in these and in her former writings (though introduced under fictitious names and events) have had living models, from which she has painted with freedom; but still, she trusts, without any unworthy or ungenerous motives. And she has sometimes been amused by the obser vations of critics, who have not unfrequently ascribed to fancy a sketch that was made from real life, and, vice verse'i, have pronounced to be facts and no fictions the coinages of her own brain. The truth is, and the experience of many years of author ship fully warrants her venturin to make the observation, that where an author takes trut as a basis for fiction, and mingles his own observations of nature, and the feelings of his own heart, with the creations of his fanc it is not easyto trace the line of demarcation, or to detect t e precise bounds where truth ends and fiction begins. If it were otherwise, the writer would be but a mere bungler in his craft, and would produce but an awkward piece of patchwork at the best. Nor is it any dis ar ement to the judgment acumen of a critic that he s ould be at fault under circumstances, and therefore sometimes fall into error; since those who aint from nature must, of necessity, frequenti have to deal) with marvellous inconsistencies; sometimes wi such as would never have entered into the brain of the novelist in his wildest imaginings nature herself alone presentin such fantastic stores in her inexhaustible combinations of g and bad, of the great and the little, the noble and the mean, the sane and the insane (for there are more mad people in the world than can with expediency be placed under whole some discipline for the recovery of their reason), in all the orders, classes, and degrees of the great family of mankind.
