Excerpt from Morley Ernstein or the Tenants of the Heart, Vol. 3 of 3 We must now endeavour to give the picture of a woman's mind under deep affliction, as a contrast to that which we have drawn of a man suffering from similar sorrow. Juliet Carr sat sad and lonely in her own room at Yelverly, meditating over lost happiness and bitter disappointment. Her father's health was better - that is to say, he was stronger, able to rise, and go about in the immediate neighbourhood, though the surgeon shook his head, warned him that no great exertions must be made, and gave Juliet herself to understand that Mr. Carr was still in a very precarious state.

Excerpt from Morley Ernstein or the Tenants of the Heart, Vol. 1 of 3 It is my belief, that no person, who merely sits down to tell a story, will ever write what is deserving of the name of a good work. He may make it, perhaps, an amusing one - he may make it an interesting one, but it will never possess those qualities which impress a book deeply and lastingly on the memory of the reader, and raise the author high in the estimation of his fellow-men, unless there be the energetic purpose of inculcating, under the garb of fiction, some strong and peculiar truths with which the Writer's mind is powerfully im bued. It is then, and only then, that works of fiction become really valuable; and did I not hope-ay, and trust - that my own will have, and indeed have had, some influence upon the tone and character of a portion of my fellow men, I should feel strongly disposed not to write another line.

Excerpt from Morley Ernstein or the Tenants of the Heart, Vol. 2 of 3 The under-workings of the passions in the human heart, the movements and the progress of that central fire in the world of each man's breast - that fire which is never guessed at by the surface, except from some slight and often unobserved indications, or from some violent outburst, like the eruption of a volcano - the underworkings of the passions, I say, are generally far more worthy of the investigation of philosophy, if we would take the trouble, are far more replete with the tragic and the sublime, than all the external demonstrations to which we give so much attention.
