A Publisher and His Friends

CHAPTER XIX
10/14

One thing I would do immediately if I were you.

I would pay for articles of _one_ sheet as much as for articles of two and three, and, in fact, I would _scarcely_ permit an article to exceed one sheet.

I would reserve such extension for matters of great and immediate interest and importance.

I am delighted that W.[Footnote: Probably Blanco White.] undertakes one, he will do it well; but remember the necessity of _absolute secrecy_ on this point, and indeed on all others.
If you were to publish such names as Cohen and Croker and Collinson and Coleridge, the magical WE would have little effect, and your _Review_ would be absolutely despised--_omne ignotum pro mirifico_.

I suppose I shall see you about twelve on Tuesday.
