Such a work must be made up of a variety of successive tales, having, for their main point of connexion, the impression which the events brought forward should produce upon my sleeping-waking principal personage. I should therefore have had at least a dozen times to set myself to the task of invention, as it were, de novo.

In the premature gravity of my features he read a vocation to the crown of martyrdom, if such should be the fortune of the Protestant church in our time as to demand of its faithful adherents the sealing their sincerity with their blood : and, as my tutor regarded light laughter, and merriment, and the frolics of youth, as...
