The Greek poet Euripides, who died about 406 B.C., said, “The tongue is mightier than the blade.” In 1600 Shakespeare had Rosencrantz in Hamlet say that “… many wearing rapiers are afraid of goosequills.” In 1621 Robert Burton wrote The Anatomy of Melancholy, in which he stated: “From this it is clear how much more cruel the pen may be than the sword.” Also preceding Bulwer-Lytton was Thomas Jefferson, who in 1796 sent a letter to Thomas Paine in which he wrote: “Go on doing with your pen what in other times was done with the sword.” ]

Some comments? Wow, pretty extensive! Thanks for the pointer to the entries on storytelling, etc. especially.
I have a different edition - read it only in the Tobias Smollet translation, blieve it or not.
Is the reference to The Cave [824) The cave!!] this one?
Don Quixote coming to the squire, whispered in his ear, “Heark
ye, Sancho; since you would have us believe what you say,
touching the things you saw in heaven, I desire the like credit
from you, with regard to those things I saw in the cave of
Montesinos. That’s all.”
Cervantes

Ahh, the cave is an episode in which Sancho falls into a pit and then travels for a mile and a half underground. I noted this with an exclamation mark because I had previously noticed that quite often adventure stories will have a part of the action at ground level, a part in the air somehow, and a part underground. More recently I have noticed the addition of a further level - space.
