acknowledgment did not go to that extent, but may
well enough have been suggested by Macanlays.
In his article on Macaulay he gives stronger
version than Lewes's, alleging that the brilliant
historian said frankly of himself that a criticism
like that of Lesslngs in his LaocoOn or of Goethe
on Hamlet, filed him with wonder and despair.
This Macaulay article (Qaarterty RerieT July,
1870 was known at the time to be Mr. Gladstones,
and made no little noise. 1t is now reprinted It's
most astonishing passages still unmodifed. Indeed,
Mr.. Gladstone has made 1t matter OF conscience 10
reproduce all his essays with but slight changes,
the nature of which ne carefully defines in his short
preface. Wherever, as in the Maud case, change
of opinion is expressed, the text remains and the
antidOte is supplied at the bottom of the page.
The one thing for which no antidote can
be prescribed is Mr.. Gladstone's style. That is
immedicable. There are those, says Pascal who
speak well but who do not write WELL Mr. Glad
stone is of that number. Pascal himself one OF
the great masters of style, accounts for 1t by the
suggestion that it is the place. the company, which
kindle the orator, and draw from his mind more
than can be found there without that heat and ex-
element. But ii is not heat which is ever wanting
to Mr. Gladstone Never was there a man more in
earnest, about great things and small. 1t is the ex-
cess of earnestness which betrays him; and the ex
cess of cOnscientiousness. Like Bentham, he
cannot be satisfied to let a sentence pass
till he has crowded into it every quail
ifcation of the main thought which sug-
gests itself to his own mind COleridge said
of Junius that Horne Tooke and long sentence
seem the only two antagonists that were too much
for him. Mr.. GladstOne's sentences are often long
and -handled; often full of a confused grittiness
that sets ones teeth edge. 1t is effort to read
him when he is at his best; when he is at his worst
it is impossible. Nearly all the value of his literary
work is either technical, as in his Homer and the
"Juventus Mundi," where he Is on his own ground
or autobographical. But when he writes on poll
tics whether he writes well i'll, he must be read
for he is not only the first of living English states
men, but he is almost the only one who desplses the
empirical method and treats politics as science.

A poor vine-dresser of Burgundy drew

fully he gave $l0,0 for the building of a

He then returned to his village and became

The JEWS IN PALESTINE. Judging by re-
ports, which appear tolerably well confirmed,
the Jews are little by little retaking posses
sion of their ancient patrimony. Eighty
years ago the sublime Porte permitted resi-
dence in the holy city to only three hundred
Israeltes. Forty years ago this number was
raised, but the Jews were obliged to reside in
a special quarter of the city which bore their
name. This last restriction, however, disap-
peared in its turn ten years ago, and since
then the Jews have bought up all the land in
Jerusalem that could be bought, and have
even built entire streets of houses outside the
walls. Synagogues and Jewish hospitals have
multiplied. The German Jews have no less
than sixteen charity associations, and in the
interior of the city one may count already
twenty eight congregations. Two journals
have been established. In the ROthschild and
other Jewish hospitals six thousand patients
are ministered to annually. A Venetian jew
has given 60, 900 francs to found a school of
agriculture in Palestine. Baron Rothschild,
at the time of the last loan of 200, 900, 900
francs made to Turkey, accepted as security
a mortgage ON the whole of Palestine, Ow-
ing TO the Jewish immigration. the population
of Palestine has doubled during the last ten
years French Paper
