Excerpt from Letters to Living Authors

Sir, - There is a certain quality which, more than talent, or genius, or energy, or force of will, lies at the bottom of all material success - the quality which is known among men as worldly wisdom. You can scarcely be congratulated on possessing it, for throughout your career you have shown less concern for the comfort and convenience of your patrons, the public, than any other literary caterer living today. Indeed, with the exception of Carlyle, no British writer of this generation has been so utterly regardless of the ease of the critics and the pleasure of the general reader.
