WHAT SOME AUTHORS EARN.
Modern Writers Fare Better Than
Did Dickens or Thackeray.
philadelphia Press. }


Could anything or anybody stop
you from writing IL you got 81 a
word for everything you turned out?
There are many noted writer's who
have obtained this much for their
manuscripts.
Grover Cleveland and the late
John Hay frequently got $1,000 for
1000 word articles. Barries Lit
tie Minister" has paid him at the
rate of 81 for each of it's 10000
words. Among poets much larger
rates have prevailed. Tennyson's
"The Throstle" cost it's publisher SO
a word, and Kipling got $1,000 for a
short poem on the Russo-Japanese
war.
Among English novelists who have
made from so to so cents for every
word in long novel are Hall Caine
and Marie Corelli. Compared with
such money earners as these, Dick.
ems, Thackeray, and George Eliot
were poorly paid for their labor. For
'"The Mill on the Floss" George Ell
lot received $4,000 for 4,0C0 copies
Of the three-volume edition; $3.50
for 10000 and $500 for 1000 re-
turn which scarcely represents
cents a word. Thackeray never re-
ceived more than 100000 for any
one of his novels.
Buiwer-Lytton's life revenue from
his novels was 100000, and the
most successful of them all did not
yield anything like 25 cents q word;
Wilik;e Collins highest rate OF pay
was a little over IL cents a word
and Anthony Trollope, though he
drew $4,000 or more for each Of
half dozen novels, touched his
high-water mark at the same rela-
lively modest figure. Scott received
100000 for his Life of Bonaparte;"
Lord Baconsfield 100000 for "Endy-
mion;" Macaulay History of Eng
land" brought him 100000 in a sin
gle check, and Froude was $4,000
better off for writing "Oceana."
Goldsmith's "Vicar Of Wakefield"
brought him just $500; his English
grammar S25, and his ::'Traveier''
$105. Johnson sold his Gives Of
the Poets" at the rate of seven words
for 3 cents; Paradise Lost" and
"Eamlet" fetched $25 a piece; Dry
den wrote 10000 immortal lines at
a little over half-penny word. and
all Gray's muse ever put into his
| pocket was $500.
