    From Mr . Soutbey , Merthyr Tydfil . —* Confessions of a Scribbler . ' This is the tirade of a

    disappointed author . It extends to more than 250 closel y printed pages crown octavo . On the title page is a sentence in small printwhich is

    as it were a key to the book and to the , tone of it . ' Manifest throughout it , is one OTer-ruling feeling under various forms , the conviction that ,

    in bad critics and sordid booksellers , learning has to contend with , her worst foes . ' If this utterance had the name of some great author

    attached to it , the words would have a certain improssiveness . As it is , marks of quotation being printed about the sentence and no name of

    an author attached , one can hardly escape tho conclusion that the quotation from an eminent author is from the hand that wrote the book it is

    quoted in . Quotation , indeed , appears to bo tho author ' s fortd , or , rather , his foible . Each of his critics is assailed for misquotationthe author of
