The American Whig Review: July, 1852 (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from The American Whig Review: July, 1852

This class of men, who have been the staple producers of literature from the days of Goldsmith - not to go further back - to our own time, are always too poor to pub lish books at the outset of their career, and are obliged therefore to have recourse to the medium of periodicals, through whose columns their works often come to a great er number of readers than if incorporated at once into the more expensive form of books and in all countries where the na tion's own periodicals supply the readers of that nation, magazine and review writers are sure of fair remuneration for their labor. The prices paid by the leading periodicals of Great Britain to their contributors range from five to ten, fifteen, and even twenty dollars for each amount of matter equalling a page of this Review. In France the rates are little lower, and in Germany they average nearly as much.
