Excerpt from The Novels of Samuel Richardson: With a Life of the Author, and Introductions You enjoined me, my dear Lady G -, at parting on Monday last, to write to you; and to be very particular in what I wrote. I will, because I love and fear you. Otherwise I would not write at all; first, because I had not the good fortune to please you, in mine to Lady L -; and next, because I shall so soon have the honour to attend you in town.

Excerpt from English Men of Letters: Samuel Richardson If his apprenticeship began in 1706 and lasted seven years, it must have come to an end in 1713. For five or six years more he continued to work as a compositor and corrector of the press, and part of the time as an overseer. Then, in 1719, he took up his freedom, and began business as a master printer in an unidentified court in Fleet Street, filling his spare time by the prep aration for the booksellers of prefaces, indexes, and what he terms vaguely honest dedications. It is probably to this occupation that we owe the elaborate Collection of the Moral and Instructive Sentiments, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Works of Samuel Richardson, Vol. 2 of 19: With a Sketch of His Life and Writings Well, he is kinder and kinder, and, thank God, purely recovered - How charmingly he looks, to what he did yester day! Blessed be God for it! He arose, and came to me, and took me by the hand, and would set me down by him; and he said, My charm ing girl seemed going to speak. What would you say Sir, said I (a little ashamed), I think it is too great an honour to go into the chariot with you. No, my dear Pamela, said he; the pleasure of your company will be greater than the honour of mine; and so say no more on that head. But, sir, said I, I shall disgrace you to go thus. You would grace a prince, my fair one, said the good, kind, kind gentleman! In that dress, or any you shall choose: And you look so pretty, that, if you shall not catch cold in that round-cared cap, you shall go just as you are. But, sir, said I, then you'll be pleased to go a bye-way, that it mayn't be seen you do so much honour to your servant. Oh, my good girl! Said he, I doubt you are afraid of yourself being talked of, more than me: for I hope by degrees to take Off the world's wonder, and teach them to expect what is to follow, as a due to my Pamela.
