Description

Father and daughter worked together at the trade of letters in the days when George the Second wasking and Grub Street was a reality. For them literature was indeed a trade, since William Thorntonwrote only what the booksellers wanted, and adjusted the supply to the demand. No suddeninspirations, no freaks of a vagabond fancy ever distracted him from the question of bread andcheese; so many sides of letter-paper to produce so many pounds. He wrote everything. Hecontributed verse as well as prose to the Gentleman's Magazine, and had been the winner of one ofthose prizes which the liberal Mr. Cave offered for the best poem sent to him. Nothing came amissto his facile pen. In politics he was strong-on either side. He could write for or against anymeasure, and had condemned and applauded the same politicians in fiery articles above differentaliases, anticipating by the vehemence of his phrases the coming guineas. He wrote history or naturalhistory for the instruction of youth, not so well as Goldsmith, but with a glib directness that served.He wrote philosophy for the sick-bed of old age, and romance to feed the dreams of lovers. He stolefrom the French, the Spaniards, the Italians, and turned Latin epigrams into English jests. He burntincense before any altar, and had written much that was base and unworthy when the fancy of thetown set that way, and a ribald pen was at a premium. He had written for the theatres with fairsuccess, and his manuscript sermons at a crown apiece found a ready market.
