Excerpt from Pelham or Adventures of a Gentleman
The holiday time of life, in which his novel was written, while accounting, perhaps in a certain gaiety of tone, for the popularity it has received, may perhaps also excuse, in some measure, its more evident deficiencies and faults. Although I trust the time has passed when it might seem necessary to protest against those critical assumptions which so long confounded the author with the hero - although I equally trust that, even were such assump tions true, it would be scarcely necessary to dispute the justice of Visiting upon later and more sobered life, the supposed foibles and levities of that thoughtless age of eighteen, in which this fic tion was first begun, - yet, perhaps, some short sketch of the ori gin of a work, however idle, the success of which determined the literary career of the author, may not be considered alto gether presumptuous or irrelevant.
