married in the stealing. He stole
Measure For Measure" from a play
called "Pro,nos and Cassandra." He
stole Hamlet from a play by George
Kyd. Romeo and Juliet he stole
from Italy.
Sir Walter Scott stole with a sublime
talent. He stole from antiquarian rec
ords. He stole from Goethe. He stole
from Sheridan.
Charles Reade claimed the right OF
the literary artist to set jewels. even
though the gems are the property of
another.
Alexandra Dumas. the author of
1.-THE Three Musketeers'' and "Monte
Cristo." was one of the most remarka-
BILE filchers in literature. In one single
year his name "a attached to no few
er than forty different books. Not only
did he steal unblushingly from every
author who came handy, but he en-
ployed numerous literary ghosts and
passed off their work as his own.
Brought to book, he had a ready re-
ply. "The nan of genius does not
steal" he said; "he only conquers."
Alexander Pope. who made thou.
sands of pounds by his poetic transla-
ton Of Homer's "1liad," was an indif-
ferent Greek scholar. In addition to
stealing from previous translators, he
employed others to help and then
claimed the whole work as his own.
When he translated 1.-The Odyssey
he kept the public in ignorance that
only twelve books could be called his
aud that the rest were the work of men
whom he paid badly.
The arguments in Pope's Essay on
Man" We're furnished by Lord Boiling

was a poetic version Of the conversa-
ton Of his intimates.
