To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The gist of the whole matter is as foUows: "That Mr. Colburn has in his time published some good books we do not deny. He commenced his career respectably, and gave the world simdry publica- tions of a reputable nature, which estabhshed his name as an eligible publisher. Mr. Colburn, in connection with his 78 DICKENS, BEADE, AND COLLINS partner,* Mr. Bentley, is still in possession of notoriety; and we affirm, boldly and seriously, that, relying on his former fame, which had been unduly spread ...through paid puffs and juggling quackery, he now publishes . . . works which are not only immeasurably below the standard of even correct writing, — we mean correct Uterally, in point of language and style, — but that he is a culpable dis- seminator of novels abounding in heartless profligacy, gross- ness, and obscenity." The essential fact, obviously, is that Colbum is the pub- lisher of the new regime. Generous to his writers and per- sonally genial, he was engaged in selling the kind of thing "the pubUc want." How energetically he went about the business appears in one of John Blackwood's stories.
