Letter from Francis Douce, Place Not Identified, to Isaac Disraeli, 1822 May 1
Thanking him for the loan of two volumes, "both of which have disappointed me;" criticizing the Reverend Samuel Tillbrook's critique of Robert Southey's poem, A Vision of Judgment: "Tillbrook's is very dull, but might I think have been rendered less so notwithstanding the subject. As far as regards Southey it is a very odd sort of criticism: under the masque of great politeness & liberality of feeling he belabours him sorely;" adding that he thinks "Davis's book [most likely John Francis Davis's Chinese Novels Translated from the Originals] is still duller [...] The tales or novels are dull & stupid [...] Had they remained untranslated till the end of time we should have lost nothing nor those who shall succeed us;" commenting on Southey's use of hexameter and asking about a reference to Dante's use of hexameter; commenting on the way Tillbrook spells Petrarch's name and other aspects of Tillbrook's text.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
