Excerpt from Robert Louis Stevenson: How to Know Him To do this without egotism is impossible. It re quires the very essence and energy of an egotism that is ever fresh. But we do not misunderstand. Stevenson in his personal talk is not exploiting him Self after the fashion of those notorieties who now so often sell their lives very dearly to the maga zines. His constant gossip about himself, his ances tors, his plans, his morality, springs from a natural and social instinct. It rarely grows stale. It is something like the willingness to be confidential in Charles Lamb and something like the desire to sur prise in Hazlitt. It is both frank and delicate, like the talk of those men.
