Présentation de l'éditeur
The consciousness of a literary mission is an agreeable one, for however delusive it may be, it raises its possessor for the time being above his fellows, and places him in his own estimation among the benefactors of his race. Not less agreeable is the hope of deriving profit from ones pleasure, for though it is seldom fulfilled, it is never perhaps entirely abandoned ;most men, I fancy, most authors, I am sure, would rather become rich by Literature than by Trade. We respect the mercantile mind, as we should, but something tells us that it is inferior to pure I ntellect. We reverence genius more than gunny-bags, and would rather witch the world with noble horsemanship on the back of Pegasus than be carried more comfortably to oblivion in a palace-car. But fame Fame is the spur that the clear spirit doth raise, (T hat last infirmity of noble minds,) To scorn delights and live laborious days.
