Excerpt from Midsummer Medley for 1830, Vol. 2 of 2: A Series of Comic Tales, Sketches, and Fugitive Vagaries, in Prose and Verse
Immediate ocular proof Of the apparition recorded. Whether this second introduction of the same character may be justly deemed a plagiarism, I leave to the critics to deter mine; though the writer must add in vindi cation, that whatever may have been his thefts from others, he is the last man who would think of stealing from himself, - a spe cies Of pilfering which he would consider somewhat equivalent to that Of robbing.

Horace Smith
435 books3 followers1779-1849
Horace (born Horatio) Smith (31 December 1779 – 12 July 1849) was an English poet and novelist, perhaps best known for his participation in a sonnet-writing competition with Percy Bysshe Shelley. It was of him that Shelley said: "Is it not odd that the only truly generous person I ever knew who had money enough to be generous with should be a stockbroker? He writes poetry and pastoral dramas and yet knows how to make money, and does make it, and is still generous."
