"No kind of literature is so generally attractive as Fiction.
Pictures of life and manners, and Stories of adventure, are more
eagerly received by the many than graver productions, however
important these latter may be. Apuleius is better remembered by
his fable of Cupid and Psyche than by his abstruser Platonic
writings; and the Decameron of BOCCACCIO has outlived the Latin
Treatises, and other learned works of that author."

The Protector instantly exclaimed "Guards! what ho! without
there!" Five or six rushed into the room and laid hands upon
Robin.
