Lnnr,n Literary Ontnnt.

Andrew Lang held at one time what
must have been very nearly a worlds
record in literary output. His regular
weekly work was six leaders for
morning newspaper, two humorous
sketches for an evening journal, two
long articles, two book reviews and
contribution to a weekly illustrated pa
per. In addition to this he devoted
four hours every day to what may be
called pure literature. He turned out
books at the rate of three a year or
even more. In 1890, for instance, there
appeared from his pen the "Red Fairy
Tale Book" Life, Letters and Diaries
OF Sir Stafford Northcote," How to
Fail In Literature" and "Old Friends"
For weeks together his work would
average $4,000 words a week.
