lower than the subtle comedy d
Fielding.
Of this trio, Sterne is the man oi
sentiment, pre-eminently. He was
unique and eccentric, a natural hui
morist, but pathetic and lachrymose
in his writings There is no contin-
uous chain OF plot to his stories, the
connection is only maintained by the
unity and consistency of his charac-
ters. The wit, and humor, and beau
ties Of fancy, whatever they may be,
of Tristraln Shandy, and the Senti-
mental Journey, must be forever mar
red by the impurity and corruption,
and "foul Satyr's eyes, leering out Of
the leaves"
The mind takes breath of pure1
thought, as we leave these old humor-
lists, great and brilliant as they may
be, but how little good or benefit has
their genius exerted by creating a
wholesome and elevating influence
through their books.
The other novels of this period ap-
pear weak aud poor, comparatively
Johnson's Rasselas was an improba-
bic, unsatisfactory tale; Miss Burney's
novels were of the artificial journal
society order; and it is only through
Goldsmith's Vicar OF Wakefield, the
idyllic charm of which awakes pure
and simple love, and a new thought
and interest in rural life and scenes,
that the sentimental literature of the
day seems redeemed and purified.

be must fail. Mr.. Barbour says he obtains

now than ever. He says Gen. Malone is
we'll supplied with money and has the sup.
