Description

Excerpt from Lucretia, or the Children of the Night In these persons there appear to have been as few redeemable points as can be found in Human N ature, so far as such points may be traced in the kindly instincts and generous passions which do sometimes accompany the perpetration of great crimes, and without excusing the individual, vindicate the species. Yet, on the other hand, their sanguinary wickedness was not the dull ferocity of brutes - it was accompanied with instruction and culture - nay, it seemed to me, on studying their lives, and pondering over their own letters, that through their cultivation itself we could arrive at the secret of the ruthless and atrocious pre-eminence in evil these Children of Night had attained - that here the monster vanished into the mortal, and the phenomena that seemed aberrations from nature were explained.
