Hardest Task of All.

An Englishman is responsible for the
following sentiment:
TO write Il book is an easy task; 1t
requires only pen and ink and some
patient paper. To print book is
slightly more difficult, because genius
often expresses itself in illcgible manu-
script. To read n book Is still more
difficult as one must struggle against
sleep. But the most difficult task that
any one may attempt is to sell book"
