Excerpt from The Betrothed: A Tale of the Crusaders, and the Highland Widow
The Tales of the Crusaders was a title decided upon rather by the advice of the few' friends whom death has now rendered still fewer, than by the author's own taste. Not but that he saw plainly enough the interest which might be excited by the very name of the Crusades, but he was conscious at the same time that that interest was of a character which it might be more easy to create than to satisfy, and that by the mention of so magnificent a subject each reader might be induced to call up to his imagination a sketch so extensive and so grand that it might not be in the power of the author to fill it up, who would thus stand in the predicament of the dwarf bringing with him a standard to measure his own stature, and showing himself, there fore, says Sterne, a dwarf more ways than one.
