Nneeds genius 70 discover genius.--Strange as it may seem, Robinson Crusoe was hawk ed about through the trade, as a work of ne- ther mark nor likelihood; and at last accept ed as a proof of especial condescension, by an obscure book seller It is singular, but not less true-and we leave our readers to draw their own inferences from the fact that almost every book of any pretensons to originality has been similarly neglected Paradise Lost with difficulty found a publish CT, while the whole trade vied with each oth- CT in their eagerness to procure the works of such dull mechanical writers as Blackmore and Glover; GuHiUer'8 7raveLs lay ten years in MS. for want of due encouragement from the booksellers and in our own time, and in a lighter branch of literature, the 1liseries of Human Life, and the still more inge- nius Rejected Addresses were refused by the trade with indifference, if not contempt. To crown the list of works thus misunderstood, Sir Walter Scott has left it on record that WaUerly was actually declined three several times by the acutest publisher of his day; and at last ushered into the world, after it had lain twelve years unnoticed in it's authors desk, withdout, hesitation and indfference.- dite Posteri!-11onthiy Margarine.
