ir is curious tact, brought out by Mr.
Parton in his volume on the humorous Poetry
ofthe English Language, that female authors
have had no place in this department of lit
erature. He says:
An unexpected feature of the book is. ,ha,
there Is not line Of it by female hand. The
alleged foibles of the fair have given occasion
to libraries Of comic verse; yet with dillipent
search, no humorous poems BY women have
been found, which are Of merit sufficient to
this. That lively vii and graceful eaiety.
that quick perception Of the absurd, which
ladies are continually displaying in their con-
versas'on and correspondence, never, it SCENE,
suggest the successful epieram, or inspire
happy, sa,irical verse.
What is the explanation DR.. Todd asserts
that women have not the inventive faculty.
and Mr.. Parton proclaims them deficient IL
humor. Some knigh, Grant must come 10
the rescue.
