Excerpt from Some Principles of Literary Criticism
The preceding chapters do not pretend to cover the entire field of criticism. Nor to lay down a definite critical method. But assume that all real criticism must be something more than individual impression. And aim to set forth some principles that must always underlie such criticism.

Excerpt from Some Principles of Literary Criticism
The following chapters were first prepared for the college lecture room, and, although since rewritten, they doubtless still betray by a certain dull, didactic manner the place of their origin. While directing the work of college classes, I had often looked about for a book that should give a compendious statement of the essentials of literature and the grounds of critical estimate. Finding no such book, I essayed to make one. Two or three books on the subject - born, I judge, of the same want that produced this one - have indeed appeared since these lectures were first written; but their purpose and method are quite different from those I have had in mind. I have attempted neither to expound a philosophy of criticism nor to elaborate a critical method; but simply to state, as plainly as I might, some qualities that by common consent are to be found in all writing deserving to be called literature, and to lay down some fundamental principles that must be assumed in all sound critical judgments.
