Excerpt from Memoir of the Rev. Henry Francis Cary, M.A, Vol. 1 of 2: Translator of Dante, With His Literary Journal and Letters Some, who differ strongly in Opinion from others whose lives have been passed without blemish, will, unknown perhaps to themselves, seek for or fancy they discover faults, even vices, that have no existence whatever, save in their own perverse imaginations, which know not how to tolerate any deviation from a class of principles which they have adopted as'vital and irrefragable truths. It is possible that the subject of this Memoir may meet with a similar fortune. It was his happy disposition to seek for the virtues and the beauties in the lives and writings of his fellow -men, and to regard even their obvious failings and defects with gentleness and forbearance.
