520			_a"Interludes" by Horace Smith is a collection of essays, a short story, and verses written in the late 19th century. The opening portion features one of the essays focused on the theme of criticism, examining its significance and the various aspects that constitute fair critique. Through an analytical lens, Smith reflects on the nature of criticism, its often negative reception by subjects of critique, and the societal implications of poor judgment in both art and moral actions. The beginning of this work introduces the essay on criticism, where the author discusses the crucial role of forming accurate judgments in society. Smith argues that rampant ignorance towards what constitutes quality can lead to the proliferation of mediocrity in literature and art. He skillfully analyzes the reasons for the ambivalence towards criticism and urges readers to foster a more discerning appreciation of creative works, using examples from notable literary figures and the arts to bolster his points. This opening sets a tone of thoughtful reflection, raising fundamental questions about the responsibilities of critics and audiences alike in the realm of judgment and taste.
