In _Pamela_, in particular, we owe All to her _Lowness_. It is to the docile Effects of this Lowness of _that amiable Girl_, in her Birth, her Condition, her Hopes, and her Vanities, in every thing, in short, but her _Virtue_,---that her Readers are indebted, for the moral _Reward_, of that _Virtue_. And if we are to look for the _Low_ among the Rest of the Servants, less lovely tho’ they are, than a _Pamela_, there is something however, so glowingly painted, in the Lines whereby the Author has mark’d their Distinctions----Something, so movingly forceful, in the _Grief_ at their _Parting_, and _Joy_ at the happy Return,---Something so finely, at once, and so strongly and feelingly, _varied_, even in the smallest and least promising, little Family Incidents! that I need only appeal from the _Heads_, to the _Hearts_ of the Objectors themselves, whether these are _low_ Scenes to be censur’d? And as for the opposite Extreme they wou’d quarrel with, the high-passion’d, and un-tam’d Lady _Davers_,---I cou’d direct ’em to a Dozen or two of _Quality Originals_, from whom (with Exception perhaps of her _Wit_) one wou’d swear the Author had taken her Copy.---What a Sum might these Objectors ensure, to be paid, by the _Husbands_ and _Sons_, of such termagant, hermaphrodite Minds, upon their making due Proof, that they were no longer to be found, in the Kingdom! I know, you are too just to imagine me capable of giving any other Opinion than my best-weigh’d and true one. But, because it is fit you should have _Reasons_, in Support of a Judgment that can neither deserve nor expect an implicit Reception, I will run over the Anonymous Letter I herewith return you; and note with what Lightness even Men of _good-natur’d_ Intention fall into _Mistakes_, by Neglect in too hasty Perusals, which their Benevolence wou’d take Pleasure in blushing at, when they discover their Weakness, in a cooler Revisal. The Writer of this Letter is for having the Style _rais’d_, after _Pamela_’s Advance in her Fortune. But surely, This was hasty Advice: because, as the Letters are writ to her Parents, it wou’d have look’d like forgetting, and, in some sort, insulting, the Lowliness of their inferior Condition, to have assum’d a new Air in her Language, in Place of retaining a steady Humility. But, here, it must not be pass’d unobserv’d, that in her Reports of Conversations that follow’d her Marriage, she _does_, aptly and beautifully, heighten her Style, and her Phrases: still returning however to her decent Simplicity, in her Addresses to her Father and Mother.
