Then came this Queen s Wake, by which he might and ought to have made from 100 to 200 for there were, I think, three editions when lo ! his bookseller turned bankrupt, and paid him never a penny. The Duke has now, with his wonted generosity, given him a cosie bield, and the object of the present attack upon the pub lic, is to get if possible as much cash together as will stock it. But no one has loose guineas now to give poor poets, and I greatly doubt the scheme succeeding, unless it is more s...trongly patronised than can almost be expected. In bookselling mat ters, an author must either be the conjurer, who commands the devil, or the witch who serves him and few are they whose situation is sufficiently independent to enable them to LETTER TO LORD MONTAGU. 43 assume the higher character and this is injurious to the in digent author in every respect, for not only is he obliged to turn his pen to every various kind of composition, and so to injure himself with the public by writing hastily, and on sub jects unfitted for his genius ; but moreover, those honest gen tlemen, the booksellers, from a natural association, consider the books as of least value, which they find they can get at least expense of copy -money, and therefore are proportionally careless in pushing the sale of the work.
