Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Pen and the Book
This book is written for the instruction and the guidance of those young persons, of whom there are now many thousands, who are thinking of the Literary Life. It is written for no other persons, and may therefore be considered as, in a sense, privately printed. After the devotion of over thirty years to this life, I may, perhaps, be allowed to have acquired some experience. During this long period I have been a writer of leading articles, a reviewer, a writer of literary studies, a writer of history and biography, a novelist and a dramatist. I have read for a publisher I have edited one archaeological sur vey, and I am engaged in directing another.
