To this must be added my book on the Sonnets in respect of which I have
had no account as yet but am over a hundred pounds out of pocket by it so
far—little of which, I fear, is ever likely to come back.
It will be noted that my public appears to be a declining one; I
attribute this to the long course of practical boycott to which I have
been subjected for so many years, or, if not boycott, of sneer, snarl and
misrepresentation. I cannot help it, nor if the truth were known, am I
at any pains to try to do so. {369}
