To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There has seldom been a worse editor than the great poet Thomas Campbell, so long the conductor of Colburn's New Monthly Magazine. His friend and regular contributor, Talfourd, hit off his character in a sentence. " Stopping the press for a week to deter- mine the value of a comma, and balancing contending epithets for a fortnight," writes the author of " Ion " of Campbell as editor of the New Monthly. He never knew where to find the thing he was in search of. His study was a mass of confusion ...; articles tendered, good or bad, were sometimes, after a weary search, found thrust be- hind a row of books on his book-shelf ; and he was rarely known to give an immediate answer, yes or no, to any applicant for admission into his magazine. In short, though a great man, he was utterly un- fit to be an editor.* I have nearly the same to say of Theodore * I find this passage as a note to an article in the New Monthly, 1829 : " I have admitted this paper from unwillingness to refuse anything from the pen of its writer ; but delicacy toward the memory of his friend need not prevent me from saying that I consider his judgment of dead and of living authors and painters to have been equally ill entitled to the epithet ' unerring.' " In the first volume of the New Monthly he edited — in 1821— he had to make an apology for an article which he " inserted without reflection, but had observed its unfairness and felt dissatisfied with himself for having published it." THE " NE W MONTHL Y." t 8 1 Hook, Lytton Bulwer, and Tom Hood, who were his successors in the editorial chair.
