Letter to William Hayley
July 15,1787
THANK you, my dear bard, for your letter, however short; and assure yourself that I am highly obliged by your kind present of the admirable little volume on Chesterfield and Johnson. A letter lately received from Miss H Williams mentions it in the most glowing terms of approbation. This letter preceded the arrival of the work itself a few days. The grace, the spirit, the discriminating justice which breathe through its pages more than fulfil her animated testimony. Well does she observe that it is impossible to mistake the author, though the work is nameless. You must learn to write below yourself to veil those rays of imagination, wit, and knowledge, which illuminate your writings, or it will always be in vain that you write anonymously.
Ref: Letters of Anna Seward, Edinburgh, 1811
