  A Few Suggestions to McGraw-Hill Authors. Details of manuscript preparation, typograpy, proof-reading and other matters in the production of manuscripts and books.

summary:
  For over twenty years, prior to the formation of the McGraw-Hill Book Company, the several journals controlled by Mr. McGraw and Mr. Hill (now published by the McGraw-Hill Company, Inc., a separate organization) had been producing books in their special fields; but the publication of technical books had not been brought to the high standard of technical journals. They are the natural resources which simplified the problems of our early years and made possible our rapid development and growth, until today, by the application of the same editorial standards and marketing methods, in broader fields, we are able to offer to the author of technical books a highly developed machinery of publication and distribution.

Subsequently he regretfully pointed out how his patron's readiness to accept the homage of other poets seemed to be thrusting him from the enviable place of pre-eminence in his patron's esteem.

  The Introduction of Professor Thorndike to his Influence of Beaumont and Fletcher on Shakspere sufficiently shows the animus of his essay: he cites the libel of Greene, and intimates that it is an accusation of plagiarism which we have rejected, but which contains an element of truth worth keeping in mind; he repeats in positive words the charge of Professor Wendell that Shakspere began by imitating or revamping the work of others; that Titus Andronicus and Henry VI., so far as they are his, are certainly imitative of other plays of the time, and adds that Richard II. Professor Thorndike, for example, has shown with convincing probability that certain old plays concerning Robin Hood proved popular; a little later, Shakspere produced the woods and outlaws of 'As You Like It.'

summary:
  In a letter to a relative she wrote: He reminded me a good deal of our old pirate and bandit friend, Trelawney, though the latter was an almost orientally dark-complexioned man, and Mr. Bret Harte was comparatively fair. The youngest daughter, only ten years old, told her sister, in reference to some conversation Froude and I had, that 'she feared' (this child) 'that Mr. Bret Harte was inclined to be sceptical!'

  Fiction Writers on Fiction Writing Advice, opinions and a statement of their own working methods by more than one hundred authors

summary:
  Reading stories written by others often suggests stories or reminiscences of my own; but in these cases I think the authorship is defective, because with a really great writer I get lost in the book. Reading stories, the keeping of my imagination alert depends on the stimuli--the art of the author.

summary:
  we are given to understand that is going to be found _new_ in them. And, therefore, _silence_ is to them not only a countenance of respect and gravity, but very often of good profit and policy too; for, Megabysus going to see _Apelles_ in his _painting_ room, stood a great while without speaking a word, and at last began to talk of his paintings, for which he received this rude reproof.
