The Profits OF Authorship

caught one of our best known authors in
confidential mood recently and his comments
on the revenue of authorship, which he gave me
permission afterward to print, carry interest with
them. | may add that the name of this author
is one of the most widely known in American
literature to-day. Seven years ago | chose be-
tween law and literature l had every oppor-
tunty to succeed at the bar, for through hard
study and my connections a lucrative practice
seemed open to me. But l turned to authorship.
To-day l am what the world calls a successful
author. My last novel was bid for by three pub
fishers, and my royalties | am told by my pub
fishers, are higher than those of the majority of
their writers. l have the pleasure of hearing my
books and name hawked on the trains when I am
travelling, the newspapers give me from a quar-
ter of a column to column and half reviews.
But what has literature brought me in money?
Let me open my vest pocket to you. Here is my
actual revenue for 1889, and Includes you
see, royalties on six of my novels, magazine
articles, etc., and everything is collected. Here
is the total $2,17040 Compare these actual
figures to the paragraph recently circulated in
which am reputed to $4,000 from my pen.
Is it any wonder that the unsophisticated enter
literature with false hopes? Yes print these facts
if you wish; only of course, withhold my name
and identity" l reproduce here the facts and
figures as they were given to me. only wish it
possible, for the sake of those who think
that literature is bed of roses, to give this
authors name.

Imagination is, too, Burning Genius whose
flame first consumes the cobwebs that envelope
our inactive mental power, then lights to
castles in Spain.
Imagination is mental endowment by which
the intellect can be cultivated and refined To
this gift mankind is indebted for progress in
science, art and mechanism Education and re-
igon alike indebted to her for advancement.
Sir Isaac Newton wrote small work upon
the Prophet Daniel, and another upon the book
of Reveations-in of which he said that in
order to fulfill certain prophecies, before a
tain date was erminated-namely, 1880 years
there should be a mode of travelling of which the
men of his time had no conception, nay that the
knowledge of manB ind would be so increased,
that they would be able to travel at the rate of
fifty miles an hour Voltaire who did not believe
in the inspiration of the Scriptures, got hold of
this and said: Now look at the mighty mind of
Newton who discovered gravity and told such
marvels for us to admire When he became an
old man and got into his dotage he began to
study that book called the Bible; and it seems
that IN order to credit his fabulous nonsense
must believe that the knowledge of mankind will
be so increased that we shall be able to travel
at the rate of fifty miles an hour! The poor
dotard!" exclaimed the philosophic infidel Vol
