Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literary Frivolities, Fancies, Follies and Frolics Utility is not always the chief object of literary labour, neither is "value received" always its aim and end; for in the kind of work, as in some others, difficulty and expected applause are frequently great incentives. With many writers, more particularly in former times, various curious styles of composition were much in favour - one, for instance, would have a predilection for composing verses with the omission in each stanza of a particular letter; others, again, would write verses in such a way as to enable their compositions to be read from the end to the beginning of the line, or vice versa, as the reader chose; while a third vexed himself in the composition of alliterative, or, perhaps, monosyllabic poetry.
