always wrong and the few always right . The Academicians might be acting judiciously and
wisely in elevating some stately Dryasdust while they blackballed the man of real creative
force . They might be preserving the dignity of literature . More correctly , they would be
perpetuating its feebleness . What could an English Academy do for Scott or Dickens ? Polish
them ; take from them all that is vital and characteristic , and give them a superficial gloss
that would smooth their way to oblivion . That would be a doubtful service to literature .
It is not given to man , nor to a body of men , not even to Academicians , to be infallible . An
Academy would have its little conceits and its favourites . It would develop cliques and
coteries . It would make literature a close preserve . It is an open field now ; let , it
remain so . Favouritism would be fatal—to the favourites . Let us keep English literature
free and independent , even at the risk of being
guilty of injustice to individuals .
