Opis: Essays and Criticisms (Classic Reprint) - Stevenson Robert Louis

Excerpt from Essays and Criticisms

The essay entitled The Morality of the Profession of Letters is in reality his creed; a noble creed it is and few preachers have more conscientiously observed the rules laid down for the regulation of their lives than has Stevenson, in all his writings, observed the rules that follow:

There are two duties incumbent on any man who enters on the business of writing: truth to fact and a good spirit in treatment.

. . . Everything but prejudice should find a voice through him; he should see the good in all things; where he has even a fear that he does not wholly understand, there should he be wholly silent: and he should recognise from the first that he has only one tool in his workshop, and that tool is sympathy."
