men than Solomons have taken a different plan; and it becomes every man 

in his vocation to cry out against such; and expose their errors as best he 

may。 

     Labouring under such ideas; Mr。 Isaac Solomons; junior; produced the 

romance   of   Mrs。   Cat;   and   confesses   himself   completely   happy   to   have 

brought it to a conclusion。 His poem may be dullay; and probably is。 The 

great Blackmore; the great Dennis; the great Sprat; the great Pomfret; not 

to mention great men of our own timehave they not also been dull; and 

had pretty reputations too? Be it granted Solomons IS dull; but don't attack 

his morality; he humbly submits that; in his poem; no man shall mistake 

virtue for vice; no man shall allow a single sentiment of pity or admiration 

to enter his bosom for any character of the piece: it being; from beginning 

to   end;   a   scene   of   unmixed   rascality   performed   by   persons   who   never 

deviate into good feeling。 And although he doth not pretend to equal the 

great   modern   authors;   whom   he   hath   mentioned;   in   wit   or   descriptive 

power; yet; in the point of moral; he meekly believes that he has been their 

superior; feeling the greatest disgust for the characters he describes; and 

using his humble endeavour to cause the public also to hate them。 

     Horsemonger Lane: January 1840。
