Excerpt from A Distinguished Provincial at Paris (Un Grand Homme De Province À Paris), And, Z. Marcas How far is this picture true? It must be said, in fairness to Balzac, that a good many persons of some competence in France have pronounced for its truth there; and if that be so, all one can say is, So much the worse for French journalists. It is also' certain that a lesser, but still not inconsiderable number of persons in England - generally persons who, not perhaps with B'alzac's genius, have like Balzac published books, and are not satisfied with their reception by the press agree more or less as to England. For myself, I can only say that I do not believe things have ever been quite so bad in England, and that I am quite sure there never has been any need for them to be. There are, no doubt, spiteful, nuprin cipled, incompetent practitioners of journalism as of everything else and it is of course obvious that while advertisements, the favor of the chiefs of parties, and so forth, are temptations to newspaper managers not to hold up a very high standard of honor, anonymity affords to newspaper writers a dangerously easy shield to cover malice or dishonesty. But I can only say that during long practice in every kind of political and literary journalism, I never was seriously asked to write anything I did not think, and never had the slightest difficulty in con fining myself to what I did think.
