The story is reproduced by Thi Bookman together with commente from a number of contem porary writers, none of whom kan ses just where the stiffness of the struggle lay: The editor himself reminds us "of Hood of Stevenion'a mcdest beginnings; of poor Gissing's difficult earer," and of the ro cently smerted fast that "the largest sucu Teorge Meredith has ever roccived for a Inovel is £100."
