Sir Edward Bulwer Lyttop, in lecture
recently delivered, gave the following history
of bis literary habits
"Many persons seeing me so much engaged
in active life, and as much about she world,
as ii had never been student, have said to
me, when do You get time TO write all your
booksp How on earth do you contrive to do
80 much work? | shall surprise you by the
answer make. The answer is this | con-
trive TO do so much by never doing too much
at time. A man, to get through work well,
must not overwork himself, for, il he do too
much to day the reaction Of fatigue will come,
and he will be obliged TO do too little to-
morrow. Now, since began really and
earnestly to study, which was not till had
left college, and was actually in the world, |
may perhaps say ] have gone through as
large q course of general reading as most
men Of my time. have travelled much, and
have seen much | have mixed much 10
politics and the various business of life, aud,
in addition to this,l have published some
whore about thirty-six volumes--some upon
| subjects requiring much research. And wha,
time, do you think, as a general rule, have
| devoted to study--to reading and writing
Not more than three hours day and, when
Parliament is sitting, not always that. But,
then, during those hours, | have given my
whole attention to what was about"
