And speaking of freedom is not the author free,as few men are free? Is he not secure, as few men are secure?
The tools of his industry are so common and so cheap that they have almost ceased to have commercial value. He needs no balky pile of raw material, no elaborate apparatus, no service of men or animals. (64)
He is dependent for his occupation upon no one but himself, and nothing outside him that matters.
He is the sovereign of an empire, self-supporting, self-contained. No one can sequestrate his estates. (65)
No one can deprive him of his stock in trade ; no one can force him to exercise his faculty against his will ; no one can prevent him exercising it as he chooses.

It is then, indeed, that I feel grateful to all the brave and generous spirits who,in every age and in every land, have fought to establish the now unquestioned freedom of the pen.
(From The Joys of Writing)
