Why you can't write and do without the authors' trade-journal! You will always find something between the covers of the magazine that drives you to work, that spurs you to greater efforts, that puts you on the high road to success.
We pride ourselves on the fact that THE EDITOR is a good, live text-book. It is a pretty sort of a teacher, you know, who never sees an educational journal; new methods and systems are cropping out constantly. And no writer--we leave this to you--likes to send a manuscript to a magazine that suspended a few months ago; nor allow an article to go unread that may cover just the point on which his or her rejections cling. The writer wants hints, helps, and as many of them as possible; everybody does. There is no magazine that better meets this want than THE EDITOR.
We've succeeded in pleasing and making famous the promising writer-folk of this country since 1894. Mayn't we have you?

Inconsistent and occasionally inaccurate capitalization/italicization of publication titles are retained from the original.
Retained some archaic/unusual spellings from the original (e.g. "grevious," "Omniverous").
Retained inconsistent spellings from the original where different writers used different word variations (e.g. "installment" in the main text vs. "instalment" in a quoted letter). Inconsistent spellings within the same context have been normalized as noted in detail below.
Retained some inconsistent hyphenation from the original (e.g. viewpoint vs. view-point).
The original text contained several instances of "he" / "be" confusion. These have been corrected and are noted below. They are not the result of OCR errors; they are present in the original typography.
