Excerpt from Learning to Write How Stevenson would have developed his proposed book, T he Art of Literature, we may only guess, for the project never found tangible form further than the loose ends in scattered essays and random Observations spontaneously put into his pages by way of apt illustration or to clinch the point in a criticism.
