Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Essays 1884-1907 When lately asked by my friend Mr. John Buchan to allow a selection from my Essays (made by him) to be added to this series, I readily assented, for when all is said and done, circulation is an author's life. Whilst an author is read he lives, on ceasing to be read he dies; and the more copies there are of his works in existence, the better is his chance of being read somewhere and by somebody. The other day in a cottage - "a cottage of gentility" - I happened upon a damsel reading Shenstone's Essays. She said she had found them there, and added (defiantly) that she liked them very much. I accounted Shenstone a lucky fellow, considering how slender were his talents, how flimsy are his Essays, and that he died so long ago as February 1763. I observe signs and symptoms of a recrudescence of the old claim of authors for perpetual copyright, for property, not privilege, in their writings. It is a dream. In the first place, the essence of property, in things not consumable, is the right of total exclusion. "Keep off the grass," "I want my things for myself." But no author really wants to keep his books to himself. Above everything else, he wants the world to read them.
