He did not cast his work in bronze, as so many do, and present it to the public ne varietur. He was continually feeling his way, recasting, and seeking the better which very often was the enemy of good. As the result of his continual researches he too frequently turned good ideas into inferior ones. The opening passage is lofty, determined and picturesque, but it ends most disagreeably.
But justice no less than courtesy demands that, until the work is finished, and sealed as a whole till the ne varietur and ne plus ultra of death have been set on it you shall abstain from a more general judgment, which can hardly be judicial, and which will have difficulty in steering between the fulsome if it be favourable and the uncivil if it be adverse.
Mangan to the aforesaid letter, dated at Madrid on the twenty-third day of July, eighteen hundred and twenty-one.

On this last O'Hara with some confused idea that he was doing wonders for his son had scrawled scores of times: 'Look after the boy.
