today is for originality. We are tired of

Charles Eeade's Literary Methods.

Charles Reade wrote murh and well. He
rose at $ O'Clock, took breakfast at 8, and at
10 commenced his literary work, which
usually lasted until 2 in the afternoon.
He wrote iu his drawing room, and when the
French windows werc closed no sounds from
the street could be heard. When once fairly
on the way with novel he worked with
rapidity He wrote with a large pen, with
vcry black ink, on large sheets of drab col
ored paper. Each sheet was numbered as
written and thrown on the floor, which, after
4 few hours writing, was completely covered
A maid servant gathered up the manuscript,
which, after being put in order, was sent to
n copyist, who made, in round hand, q
clear copy. Mr.. Reado then went carefully
oger it, making Improvements By omissions
and additions.
The revised sheets were once moro copied
for the printer. He seldom dictated story,
but had not any objection to the company of
friend in his room when busy with his pen.
Ho would sometimes relieve the monotony q
his worl; by watching game of tennis OH his
lawn, or the gambois Of his tame hares, or
the traffic passing in the street, at the bottom
of his garden. Mr.. Reade did not take any
lunch; he dincl late aud generally tin:she6
the day with visit to the theatre. William
