Excerpt from A Man Story

It seems easy to write a story. After read ing a book, particularly a good one, the writ~ ing of it seems to have been an'easy matter. I think I was induced to attempt to tell this {story igof; afghan from reading certain books Hygielgwerer wrrt'ten so easily that little work was apparently connected with them, but I now feel, after an actual experience with the task, that no One will be encouraged to write a book by what I have written; I am so cer tain that the style is stifi, and the characters awkwardly introduced, though I might have done better had I not felt it my duty to narrate the facts almost as they happened, for there is a wide license in fiction which I have not been permitted to employ.
