A slanderer of books

In Book 11, Chapter 1, Fielding attacks critics as slanderers of books.

The charge, odious in any event, would be more so if he did not understand the word as signifying one who seeks out someone's flaws in order to make them known to his harm.

Reading Tom Jones.

By the way, have you tried the Troeg Brothers' Java Head Stout?

Very nice.
