&lt;p&gt;A TALE OF NEW YORK.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;BOOK I. Chapter X.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;[…]&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;i&gt;How is it that America has no great actor or actress, save and except Charlotte Cushman, and she is among the greatest any where ? And how is it that the fourth, fifth and sixth rate English actors and actresses flourish so well here ? As soon as an actor finds he can't get along in London, he escapes starvation by taking his passage in an Atlantic steamship, and his fortune, if he can contrive to get judiciously puffed in the daily papers, is made. We receive the paupers of England, and her worst artists. She will next send us the cast-off pants and boots of her cockneys.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;But then we are so liberal, so hospitable to strangers. We should always honor men of genius, and if Tennyson were to arrive here, he should be thrice welcome, but we make no distinction between a poet and a fool, and—God give us more sense—we honor a stupid Tupper. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Long ears of a donkey, how we should venerate them, if the wearer brought recommendatory letters, and had published a book!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;[...]&lt;/p&gt;</text>
