The Hazards of Literary Life "The hardships endured by authors are typified by a letter bound inside the flyleaf of a volume in exhibition of annotated rare books on view at the Smithsonian Institution . .... . The book in question is "History and Progress of the Steam Engine", published in London in 1837. It was written by civil engineer Elijah Galloway, who addressed the letter inside to Charles Manby, a prominent English engineer. It reads: 'Dear Sir: I am just on the eve of completing a new work on "The Mechanic Powers and Their Application to Machinery". But literary work is only paid for when the Manuscript is completed and what with ill health and the all absorbing nature of this kind of labor I am in the awful predicament of wanting a bit of bread! I have by me an only copy of my well known "History of the Steam Engine", which Mrs Galloway will herewith hand you. Will you in charity purchase it of her? This is the only legitimate source by which I can avert the horror of hunger and cold for we have neither food,fire, nor a penny in the world! I am, Dear Sir, Your ever Obliged E. Galloway."'
