Excerpt from The Works of Samuel Richardson, Vol. 6 of 12: With a Prefatory Chapter of Biographical Criticism I AM a very unhappy man. This lady is said to be one of the sweetest-tempered creatures in the world: and so I thought her. But to me she is one of the most perverse. Inever was supposed to be an ill-natured mortal neither. How can it be? I imagined, for a long while, that we were born to make each other happy: but quite the contrary; we really seem to be sent to plague each other.

Excerpt from The Works of Samuel Richardson, Vol. 3 of 12: With a Prefatory Chapter of Biographical Criticism My Dear Father and Mother, I know you will be pleased to hear that we arrived safely in town last night. We found a stately, well-furnished, and convenient house; and I had my closet or library, and my withdrawing-room, all in complete order, which Mr. B - gave me possession of, in a manner the most obliging that can be imagined. I am in a new world, as I may say, and see such vast piles of building every where, and such a concourse of people, and hear such a rattling of coaches in the day, that I hardly know what to make of it, as yet. Then the nightly watch, going their hourly rounds, disturbed me last night. But I shall soon be used to that, and sleep the sounder, perhaps, for the security it assures to us.

Excerpt from The Works of Samuel Richardson, Vol. 9 of 12: With a Prefatory Chapter of Biographical Criticism The Editor of the following Letters takes leave to observe, that he has now, in this publication, completed the plan, that was the object of his wishes, rather than of his hopes, to accomplish. The first collection which he published, entitled 'pamela, ' exhibited the beauty and superiority of virtue in an innocent and unpolished mind, with the reward which often, even in this life, a protecting Providence bestows on goodness. A young woman of low degree, relating to her honest parents the severe trials she met with, from a master who ought to have been the protector, not the assailer, of her honour, shows the character of a libertine in its truly contemptible light. This libertine, however, from the foundation of good principles laid in his early years by an excellent mother; by his passion for a virtuous young woman; and by her amiable example, and unwearied patience, when she became his wife; is, after a length of time, perfectly reclaimed.

Excerpt from The Works of Samuel Richardson, Vol. 7 of 12: With a Prefatory Chapter of Biographical Criticism O belford! What a hair's-breadth escape have I had! Such a one, that I tremble between terror and joy at the thoughts of what might have happened, and did not. What a perverse girl is this, to contend with her fate yet has reason to think that her very stars fight against her! I am the luckiest of men l - But my breath almost fails me, when I reflect upon what a slender thread my destiny hung.
