ABBY SAGE RICHARDSON.

: The second OF Abby Sage Richardson's talks on
English literature given yesterday afternoon, at
Decker Hall, Union square. About sixty ladies' had
assembled when Mrs. Richardson entered the hall.
With the light thrown so to display her face and
figure the best advantage Mrs Richardson dressed
very simply in black looked uncommonly well, and
when her face and manner became animated in the de-
livery Of the lecture she might easily have been taken
for much younger than she is She had chosen for her
subject seThe Mopte d'Arthur Romances" Her quiet,
distinct sympathetic voice at caught the atten-
tion of the audience and il is exaggeration to say
that through all the ntrcaces Of the subject that at
tcntion was retained. Her manner OF treating the
Arthurian historical rather than anayti
call she dwelt upon tho stories rather than examined
the characters. Commencing with the origin Of
the romanees among the Cets OF Armorca and
wales, she traced their gradual growth and progress
through The writings OF Geoirey Of Monmouth Walter
hapes, Ware, Layamon, down TO Sir Thomas Mallory,
whose book printed In black letter by William Caxton,
contains all the tales Of his predecessors translated
into early English and forms the great text book from
which Tennyson and other poets have drawn tor their
poems on tho Arthurian legends Here nne opportu
nty was presented for comparison between Mallorys
prose and Tennysons poetic account OF the same sub
Jects and the fair lecturer did hesitate her
preference for the former One OF the most interest
ing portions of the lecture a number OF readings
rom Mallory giving his account OF Merlins prophecy
Arthurs woonR Of Guinevere Launcelots love for tho
queen SIR Galahad who found the Holy Graa, Sir
Trstram and the story Of Enid These
legends have grown familiar through the
poems Of Tennyson, but read they were with Mrs
Richardson's animated voice and delivery they OBJ
tanned renewed interest in their old English dress
She dwelt especially the character OF aunceot the
most perfect knight In chivary yet marred by the one
fault Of deceving the King. But In the constancy Of
his love for Guinevere, although she was the wife of
his MASTER be was the beau ideal OF the true knight
In connection with this subject the question Of love in
the times Of chivalry dwelt upon at considerable
len 9Th, and the audience exhorted not TO allow
the occasional coarseness OF med@va writers TO deter
them from studying what ntrinsically beautiful
Mrs Richardson's recitation OF few lines from Tennv.
sons "Lady of ShaStt" must have made those who
heard her regret that she did pay more attention
