Author Description

Excerpt from The Son of a Genius: A Tale, for the Use of Youth Indeed, sir, you are mistaken; my son has no Genius, but he has industry and suf ficient talent to make that industry profitable, I hope. You underrate his powers, ma'am - I am convinced he has really Genius, and will some day out a very great figure in the world; you must not damp the ardohrs, or be too severe on the eccentricities of a mind like this - he who can do such things as these are now, will at a future period claim the highest honours fame can bestow.
