I've cannot think That Prof. Hilps short llfo
OF Washington Irving is altogether what It
ought to be. Though written we'll, so far as
style goes, 1t wants good arrangement and due
proportions. Chronological sequence may be
the most useful plan In complete biography,
but It IL not 20 in short sketch. It does nut
enable u to SEQ clearly the different kinda Of
lilo that Washington irving led. Beside, It
tempss tho author into unnecessary details.
