Pictures designed for fine editions of standard authors were often introduced with change of name, and not infrequently the process of illustration was reversed, and poems or tales were written to fit the renamed plate. It is not strange that volumes which are so palpably indicative of the commercial side of publishing, and that appealed to a constituency often more elegant and refined than intellectual, should be treated in later years with scant respect. Charles Lamb, Thackeray, and George Eliot all indulged in humour at the expense of the annuals and their admirers, and in America Miss Agnes Repplier and others who have given them passing notice adopt the same tone.

American magazines like Harper's were publishing serial after serial by British pens, yet the demand for short fiction incc, Emerson struck the new note: How far off from life and manners and motives the novel still is. Life lies about us dumb; and in the same volume a reviewer of George Eliot notes the decline of the ideal hero and heroine. The public is learning that men and women are better than heroes and heroines. By 1861 a writer like Rebeccahat a serious story of manners shall close with the factitious happiness of a fairy tale. He was a scientist; his second paper in the Atlantic is a defence of George Eliot, scientist. To both of them the first requisite of fiction was the truth, the truth told directly, simply, concretely. An age of science could no longer to
