To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"Isn't it enough that you escaped providentially from being one kind of a cursed clerk, but you want to go and be another ? I tell you, I will turn you straight out of my house if you go in for any kind of com- mercial life. " So that my fate was settled for me. IX POETS AND PRESSES I THINK that there is no crime literary or con- nected with literature that nowadays an average, fairly honest English writer will not commit for the sake of a little money. He will lengthen his book to suit one pub...lisher; he will cut it down to suit another. Nay, men otherwise honorable and trust- worthy will, for the matter of that, perjure them- selves in the most incredible manner as to financial arrangements they may have come to, or in the most cold-blooded style will break contracts and ignore obligations. I suppose that never before was the financial struggle among the literary classes so embittered and so ignoble. The actual circum- stances of literary life may have been more humiliating in the days when Johnson waited upon the patron that he never found.
