… I cannot have the “German Pension” reprinted under any circumstances. It is far too immature, and I don't even acknowledge it to-day. I mean I don't “hold” by it. I can't go foisting that kind of stuff on the public. It's not good enough. But if you'll send me the note that refers to it I will reply and offer a new book by May 1st. But I could not for a moment entertain republishing the “Pension.” It's positively juvenile; and besides that, it's not what I mean; it's a lie. Oh no, never.
