"BIOGRAPHING."
TFrom the London Chronicle
As your columns are open to the dis
cussion of literary questions, I shall
be greatly obliged to you if you will
tell me of any means by which a person
engaged in public work can be spared
the biography" and "interview." I am
at present the recipient of daily Insult
from various quarters of Journalism on
account of a small "bijou biographv"
of m, which the publisher, Mr. Drane.
tias Issued to companion similar vol
ume concerning John Burns, Joseph
Chamberlain, Lord Kitchener.Lord Rob
erts, and last, not least, his ma3esty
the king. None of these distinguished
gentlemen have been accused in the
press of writing their "biographies"
themselves, and issuing them with Mr.
Drane for the purpose of "advertise
ment," but this libellous accusation is
being freely circulated with regard to
myself. Will you permit me to say that,
as a matter of act, I made every effort
to prevent this "biography" from being
issued, and Mr. Drane, if asked, could
entirely confirm this statement. Asking
a solicitor's advice on the subject, I
Was told, "If the biography does not
give publicity to anything false er libel
lous, you could not successfully take
exception to It in any court of law."' I
shall be glad to learn if I can "success
fully take exception in a court of law"
to the "false and libellous" statements
made in certain quarters of the press
with regard to this matter, as such
statements can certainly be proved both
damaging and injurious. The other day
I saw an Interesting account of the
career .of my kindly and popular neigh
bor. Sir Arthur Hodgson, in a Birming
ham paper. Am I tp suppose he wrote
it himself, and had it inserted as an
"advertisement?" Has Lord Roberts
found it necessary to taka the name of
"Ernest 1 Russell" and write his own
biography for the benefit of Mr. Drane?
Were I to accuse others as wrongfully
as I am myself accused. I should be
served, and deservedly so, with endlesa
writs for libel. Personally I should like
to be told how to avoid being known at
all save by my books for.as the "Court
Circular" obligingly says of me, "It
would be much better if she could sink
her personality altogether, and let the
public judge of her simply and solely
by her writings." This is precisely what
I have always desired, but apparently
this is not allowed. If X refuse to grant
"interviews" they are straightway in
vented on hearsay; and, though I "de
cline to be photographed, "fancy" like
nesses of me are constantly published.
(I have a scrap-book containing various
portraits of myself -which, -thank God,
are not me). If .1 travel ten miles dis
tant I am reported as having "high
times in Italy and on the Riviera," and
quite recently I was accredited with
the ownership of a house in Venice, with
a garden "covered with vines," where
I wrote . 'The Master Christian." It
you, sir, will give me any talisman of
protection against this wholly undesired
vulgar and objectionable notoriety, I
aaaU forever ba grateful. I cannot vary

as matters stand (owing, I suppose, to
the "smart" Journalist's greed for
"copy") I can neither walk, drive, talk
