It is tobe hoped that a numerous and enterprising generation of writerswill follow and surpass the present one; but it would be better ifthe stream were stayed, and the roll of our old, honest Englishbooks were closed, than that esurient book-makers should continueand debase a brave tradition, and lower, in their own eyes, afamous race. Better that our serene temples were deserted thanfilled with trafficking and juggling priests.
There are two just reasons for the choice of any way of life: the...first is inbred taste in the chooser; the second some high utilityin the industry selected. Literature, like any other art, issingularly interesting to the artist; and, in a degree peculiar toitself among the arts, it is useful to mankind. These are thesufficient justifications for any young man or woman who adopts itas the business of his life. I shall not say much about the wages. A writer can live by his writing. If not so luxuriously as byother trades, then less luxuriously. The nature of the work hedoes all day will more affect his happiness than the quality of hisdinner at night.
