ing an American manuscript. I have returned scores, if not hundreds, of manuscripts of American authors, unopened even, simply from the fact that it is impossible to make the books of most American authors pay, unless they are first published and acquire recognition through the columns of the magazines. Against such an adverse current, American authorship was slowly winning its way. In 1829, it is asserted no author of belles-lettres was living by his pen in New York. The lives of Richard Dabney, Percival, See Book II, Chap. V. and Halleck Ibid. throw a strong light upon the rewards of authorship during the first four decades of the century. The first two men, though possessed of a thin strain of genius, were constantly in desperate straits on Grub Street. Halleck, in spite of some aspects of popularity, received for the entire labours of a literary lifetime but $17,500, or approximately $364 a year. Irving See Book II, Chap. IV. and Cooper See Book II, Chap. VI.
