Sir Henry Irving hints that autobiography
from his hands is a possible thing; at least he
says: LAS for my "Reminiscences they might,
perhaps shape themselves when my professional
work becomes less eXacting." He says in regard
to his early experiences as a booksellers clerk
in London: Il cannot recall any special handling
of books The firm exported all kinds of wares,
and 1 sat on a stool and wrote invoices. 1t would
be pleasant and romantic to say that in this Oc-
cupation l caught spark from Shakespeare
But stern veracity bids me forbear"
