Really the absence of erasions and corrections is too easily explained on the theory that Will was NOT the author. Will merely copied the fair copies handed to him by the concealed poet. The farce was played for some twenty years, and was either undetected or all concerned kept the dread secret and all the other companies and rival authors were concerned in exposing the imposture.
Forget the madness into which I was betrayed. There is no soil upon my spirit. I offer you love as noble as any man is capable of. Think think well before replying to me; let your true self prevail. You did love me, dearest. Yours ever, Godwin Peak. At first he wrote slowly, as though engaged on a literary composition, with erasions, insertions.
What they did not know was merely that Will gave them fair copies in his own hand, as, before the typewriting machine was invented, authors were wont to do. Within the last fortnight I heard the error attributed to the players made by an English scholar who is foremost in his own field of learning. He and I were looking at some of Dickens's MSS. They were full of erasions and corrections.
The most interesting article was the "Jerusalem Delivered" of Tasso, in the poet's own hand, with his erasions and corrections. We also visited the Cabinet of Natural History, which is open twice a week "to all respectably dressed persons," as the notice at the door says. But Heaven forbid that I should attempt to describe what we saw there.
The second edition of CASTLE RACKRENT came out with Miss Edgeworth's name to it in 1811. 'Its success was so triumphant, Mrs. Edgeworth writes,'that some one I heard his name at the time, but do not now remember it not only asserted that he was the author, but actually took the trouble to copy out several chapters with corrections and erasions as if it was his original manuscript.
Only a few timbers too heavy to be removed, the blighting erasions of a few months of occupation, and the dull, blackened area of the site itself were to be seen. The fence alone was intact. Clarence halted before it, perplexed and astonished.
