AuachrOnisns.

At the same time we must allow that
anachronisms in themselves are not
enough to condemn work Of the mag
nation; else what would become of
Shakespeare? Yet even here we may
remark certain limit, modus in rebus.
No one is particularly shocked or struck
by the striking of the clock in Julius
Caesar, but when Ben Jonson makes Off
GERS Of Alexander's court wear coats
and carry pocket pistols, the incongruity
is too ridiculous, and it is exaggerated
rather than diminished by our recollec-
ton that Jonson knew better. Now if
we look more closely into this matter
of anachronism, we find that though
it expresses itself in what we may call
ignorance of negatives, it depends on
something more than want OF special
knowledge, namely, a fixed habit of
mind and thought. Even in the differ
ent countries of our,time, we see analo-
gous distinction. Thus, the errors which
a Frenchman makes in judging and de-
scribing an Anglo-Saxon society are due
less to his ignorance of facts Though of
course that counts for something) than
to his a priori conceptions OF society,
founded on different social traditions and
greater sensuousness of character. As
we change the age we must expect
greater changes in this respect. Before
the revival of classical literature, the
impress of feudality had been SO strongly
stamped upon Europe that to the men
then living feudal institutions appeared
to have existed forever. They pictured
to themselves Caesar and Alexander as
sovereigns who held tournaments, and
had great barons for their retainers 1t
was not merely that they were ignorant
Of ancient history; they could not con-
ceive state Of things on earth different
from that which surrounded them. But
the curious reader may find isolated
cases nearly as startling in the present
century among the writings Of very
learned and able authors. Many per
sons have doubtless remarked that in
his Lays Of Rome Maeaulay antici-
pated the De Medici by bringing the
buffalo into Italy, but suspect few have
noticed that one Of his youthful poems
introduces parks and squirrels into the
age OF Cain. These two blunders from
the same writer illustrate the two
sources Of anachroRisms.
