Read the excerpt from Letters of the Late Ignatius Sancho, An African . My chief pleasure has been books.—Philanthropy I adore.—How very much, good Sir, am I (amongst millions) indebted to you for the character of your amiable uncle Toby!—I declare, I would walk ten miles in the dog-days, to shake hands with the honest corporal.—Your Sermons have touch'd me to the heart, and I hope have amended it, which brings me to the point. What is Sancho’s attitude toward Sterne’s writing in this excerpt?
Sancho praises Sterne’s writing warmly, saying that he is indebted to him for the character of Uncle Toby and that Sterne’s sermons have touched his heart and helped amend it. His sincere gratitude and admiration show a respectful, humble attitude. The playful mention of walking ten miles to shake hands with Corporal Trim does not make his overall tone critical or annoyed.
