Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Critical Dissertation on the Nature and Principles of Taste As an ardent admirer of that creative art which gives the most expansive scope to the refined perceptions of Taste, and the divine associations of Genius - that art in which you have so eminently excelled, and through which you have not only revived, but redeemed, the native spirit and chaste simplicity, the classic elegance and impassioned enthusiasm, of a more poetic and a happier age, - permit me to acknowledge the honour which I feel conferred upon me, in being permitted to prefix your name to the following work.
