Goldsmith wrote this apparantly for the money Written by Lynn Marie (5/3/2005 10:37 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, I agree with your other hand ;-), penned by LaurieC

The little bio at the front of my book says:"In 1756 he landed at Dover,penniless and friendless. With great distaste he embarked on a writing career...The publication of...his novel The Vicar of Wakefield (1766),raised him to the rank of first-rate writers".
