The prerogative hitherto legally pertaining to the censors, although practically no longer exercised in its original serious sense of deleting any senator from the roll, with a statement of the reasons for doing so, at the revisals which took place every five years likewise fell into abeyance for the future; the irremoveable character which had hitherto de facto belonged to the senators was thus finally fixed by Sulla.
His primary and principal purpose was to be a poet, with which his father accidentally concurred by proposing subjects and obliging him to correct his performances by many revisals, after which the old gentleman, when he was satisfied, would say, "These are good rhymes."
Sterling had some hand in this affair: but, as I said, it was the two young ladies of the family that mainly did it. In the end of 1841, after many hesitations and revisals, The Election came out; a tiny Duodecimo without name attached; again inquiring of the public what its suffrage was; again to little purpose.
To the same use I would pray you to apply twenty-five guineas, which I have lent the two Mr. Fitz-hughs of Marmion, and which I have desired them to repay into your hands. You will of course deduct the price of the revisals, and of any other articles you may have been so kind as to pay for me. Greek and Roman authors are dearer here, than, I believe, any where in the world.
In the remainder of the way I advanced with a more equal and easy pace; but the fifteenth and sixteenth chapters have been reduced by three successive revisals, from a large volume to their present size; and they might still be compressed, without any loss of facts or sentiments.
These poems, with which I was acquainted at their first appearance, I have since found altered and enlarged by subsequent revisals, as the author supposed his judgment to grow more exact, and as books or conversation extended his knowledge and opened his prospects.

I reflect what an undertaking it is resigning any work into the hands of the public; and I cannot but be persuaded that frequent revisals, and many consultations, must go to the perfecting of a performance, which one desires should universally and forever please. Farewell. To PRISCUS THE illness of my friend Fannia gives me great concern.
