Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Monthly Magazine and Literary Journal, 1833, Vol. 3 We shall treat very briefly the delicate point of anonymous editorship we are convinced that this, too, has advantages, which its opposite can not counterbalance. If a name is to give importance to editorial dignity, it must, of course, be one of considerable note. The individual so osten sibly sustaining an office that, if well discharged, must employ the greatest portion of his time, must. Nevertheless feel that he has to take care of his reputation as an author, advance bis fortunes, and attend to the pub lic and private avocations which his celebrity has opened to him. These hxhaust his energies. He thinks occasionally of his duties as an editor - 7 - procrastinates - to-morrow will give more leisure - an unexpected and indispensable engagement consumes the morrow the month advances the day of publication presses upon him with alarming celerity - he is totally unprepared - he sits down to write; but he must produce some thing worthy of his fammomething that will justify the high expecta tions of the public. In this be either fails or succeeds according as be is in or out of the vein. In fact, a great name does little in advancing the real and substantial interests of a periodical. The anonymous might, in this view, therefore, be preferred. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
