The Review was as poor as it wasproud, and I had two dollars a printed page for my paper. But this wasmore than I got from the Advertiser, which gave me five dollars a columnfor my letters, printed in a type so fine that the money, when translatedfrom greenbacks into gold at a discount of $2. 80, must have been about adollar a thousand words. However, I was richly content with that, andwould gladly have let them have the letters for nothing. Before I left Venice I had made my sketches into a bo...ok, which I sent onto Messrs. Trubner & Co. , in London. They had consented to look at it tooblige my friend Conway, who during his sojourn with us in Venice, beforehis settlement in London, had been forced to listen to some of it. Theyanswered me in due time that they would publish an edition of a thousand, at half profits, if I could get some American house to take five hundredcopies. When I stopped in London I had so little hope of being able todo this that I asked the Trubners if I might, without losing their offer, try to get some other London house to publish my book.
