to be the privilege only of the few.
So long as the narrower aristOcratic
organization endures, the man of let
tiers cannot rely on his pen fer sup
port. He needs a Maecenas; he begs
for pensions; he hucksters his dediCa-

his vocation, but he feels the need of an
avocation to keep a roof over his head.
So it is that until the growth # a mid

ton combine to make the structure Of
society more democratic and to supply
at last a reading public large enough
to reward the authors labor literature
can be little more than the accOmpani-
