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.
