YOU will have complete set'"
Mr. W. F. Poole, tells this story in L" The Dial :
.sNo, said a friend of ore of the most successful
American writers who had submitted to this friend Tor
his critical Judgment Ms. just completed, No this
NOT in vour best STYLE IL shows little else than the
work YOU have put into it and You capable OF some
thing better You are tired; lay it aside; 60 away on
vacation, and let your publishers wait Wien you
are tsted come back take 1t up and play with It, ana
when you are ready go press No author likes such
advice this and the instance mentioned wac not an
execution to the general rule; but the advice was
taken in friendly spirit and followed The result was
classic in American literature instead OF passaOle
and toilsome production" This anecdote is to be
heartily commended to the Americans whose fault 1t
too often is to write and publish with undue haste.
