' The best that you can do is to write the book that it gives you the most pleasure to 

 write, to put as much heart and soul as you have about you into it, and then hope as 

 hard as you can to reach the heart and soul of the great multitude of your fellow-men.' 

 The Man of Letters as a Man of Business, by W. D. HOWELLS, 

 Scribner's Magazine, October 1893.
