Washington Irving and John MUIR
ray.
In preface 10 the Sketch.Book,
written long afterward. Irving told its
history up to the date of its publication
by Murray, land from that hour, he
added. Murray became my publisher,
conducting himself in all his dealings
with that free, open. and liberal spirit
which had obtained for him the we'll
meritcd appcllation of tic Prince OF
Publishers. Murray was not behind
hand in recognizing by word as well as
deed the mistake he had made in de-
clining the Sketch book. In one letter,
after urging Irving to drop his pseu-
donym and give his name to the world,
he writes, Il am convinced [ did not
half know you, and cstceming you as
did, certainly my esteem is doubled by
my better knowledge of YOU" For
Braccbridgc Hall, without seeing it in
MS, Murray signed check for 1000
guineas. and with similar trustfulness
gave 1,500 for the uninSpccted Tales of
o Traveller. From first to last Irving
was paid by the house of Murray for
his prose something like ten thousand
pounds. For the Life of Columbus he
received IS, 15) from Murray, who was
satisfied rs publisher with its sale,
and dsas lover of good literature with
its contents, saying of it and its author,
ut is beautiful, beautiful, the best
thing he has ever written The Life
of Columbus appeared in 1928, and in
the autumn of that year Murray was
projecting. for at least the third time
in his career, and always without
practical result, the establishment of a
monthly magazine, to be purely liter
literary and scientific, and free from
any party or political bias. 1t was not
to an Englshman, but to the American
Washington Irving, that Murray offer
ed the edltorship of the projected peri
odical. with s:,.ary of f1,000 pounds
a year (Which would be a high one
even in these days., besides payment
for whatever he might contribute of his
own to it. Irving declined the offer
on the patriotic ground that to accept
it would entail his permanent absence
from the United States, which he did
at last, after u long absence, revisit,
famous and fetcd man. From the same
love of country he almost always re-
fused Murray's frequent invitations to
contribute to the Quarterly Reusea0.
The liberal offer of hundred guineas
an article could not overcome his re-
pugnance to contribute to periodical
which had Systematically ridiculed and
reviled the United States and its citi-
zens. Twice only during his long con-
nection with the house of Murray did
he contribute TO the Qwarterty.-F
