According to Mr.. Andrew Lang
there are about luaO0 novellst5 in
Great Britain. This statement is
somewhat shorn OF its terrors by the
fact that out of this huge army of
story tellers only 500 have succeeded
in getting their works published.
The remainder are still in the de
clined with thanks" stage of their
literary careers. and will in all prob
ability remain there.
Mr.. Andrew Lang takes a very dis
couraging view of the prospects of
fered by novel writing to those who
propose to adopt it as profession,
the special gifts and training required
being such as To render failure inev
liable in the case Of the great ma
iority of these candidates for literary
fame. The reflections suggested by
this condition Of things are not pleas
ant. for they all point to world o.
human suffering Of the hitterest kint
IA world of blighted hopes, of dill
gence defeated. Of despair and ruin
Strange it is to find so many people
facing this fate for the sake of see
ing themselves in print -Londoi

this one should not be lost to the cause

had no difficulty in getting admittance
to the mortuary, where the coirin I'D was

During this process the brick and the
