Books That Have No, He,ped Me.

". Il. run, !" ~ LpOtH.
Almost everybody OF any literary promi-
neDce has lately been telling somewhere OF
the 'books that have helped me-" 1t 10
about time, it seems to me that somebody
should say something about the books
that have not helped me-" First and fore
most, in my own case, l would place Benia.
min Franklin's autobiography. The main
reason this book never helped me is be-
cause | never read it. If | had read il i
should doubtless have learned to Stick
type ut an early age, should have
spent at the compositor's case and the
reporters desk the years | FILTERED away
in college, grabbing at the sciences
and ''humanities, " should have escaped
some years of the grind of school tesching,
and should have become, far sooner than
now seems at all possible, the editor of q
critical journal of my own. | have felt a
sort of personal. grievance against B
Franklin ever since | found out what his
book il like; not because he wrote it-that
would not be fair or logical. but because
he did not leave directions that | should
read il at the proper age. In the second
place, among the books that have not
helped me, pecuniarily / mean, l must
put the books | have written. They have
never been published yet, and | am be-
ginning to doubt if they ever will he.
Another book that did not help me, Pc
cuniarily or other wise, was Titus Livy,"
especially the preface. Just what they
put freshmen to reading that abominably
constructed puzzle don't know, unless ii
is to make them homesick. | liked the
lost books of Livy better than any Of the
rest, because they did help me--!O &c!
through with the volume.
"Webster's Unabridged Dictionary" has
never helped me either--to auy great X
tent. l never felt that | had money
enough at any one time to buy it; the pub
fishers never seut me one; and ! prefer
Worcester's spelling, anyhow.
Two Other books that have not helped
me are "Lemuel Barker's Apprenticeship
and "April Hopes" except, indeed, as
they helped me to get disguised with those
varieties of the human species the author
essays TO photograph.
OF course there are plenty Of other books
that never helped me-snch as the PRO
ceedings of the Board of Aldermen" the
Congressional Record" and the books in
the British Museum and the Lenox Library
and other places inaccessible to a New
Yorker; but these don't count, What
set ont TO do waa to tell of some books
that cmphaticaIly and in some special way
have not helped me. If Others will con
TESS Is frankly, there nav be gathered in
time, a body of facts, sufficiently to form
the basis for a general induction, and thus
we may get logically at a complete list q
the hundred worst books" which will
be more scientifically compiled than auy
of the "huudred hest books" lists, and
will he fully as helpful to the student and
the general reader.
