Is Clarissa a mere Novel? Whoever considers it as such, does not understand it. It is a System of religious and moral Preceptsand Examples, planned on an entertaining Story, which stands or goesforward, as the excellent Design of the Author requires; but neverstands without pouring in Incidents, Descriptions, Maxims, that keepAttention alive, that engage and mend the Heart, that play with theImagination, while they inform the Understanding. / / * * * * * [9] Rev. Mr. Spence. It is the more nece...ssary to say something, by way of Preface, of thefollowing Work; because it is a Work of a new kind among us. The Writers of _Novels_ and _Romances_ have generally endeavoured topick out the most pleasing Stories; to pass over the dry Parts in them;and to hurry the Reader on from one striking Event to another. Their_only_ Aim seems to be that of making a Tissue of Adventures, which bytheir Strangeness and Variety are meant only to surprise and please. Nature they have not much in View; and Morality is often quite out ofthe Question with them.
