Excerpt from Essays on Fiction This book was nearly through the press when Mr. Senior was seized with illness so serious as to prevent his adding the final touches. The whole, however, had been carefully prepared, perhaps too carefully, for it would have been interesting to compare the early, somewhat exuberant style in which the reviews of Scott were written, with the terse condensed sentences of the later articles. But the few hues with which he would have reintroduced these papers to the public are a more important loss. He would have felt that to send forth the notice on the greatest novelist of our own day, William Makepeace Thackeray, without one word of explanation or of regret, into a world still smarting from his loss, would have been treason to the friendship which united both author and reviewer.
