| thesis than novel it is treatise upon
humanity and human usefulness than a
story, and still it is tale, and a well-told
and natural one Mr.. Wood says of his
| book: The author believes in the whole
| someness of idealism and optimism. 1t is
perhaps unnecessary to state that no at
| tempt has been made to construct a novel
| upon conventional realistic lines. Sys-
| TENS and doctrines find their only ex-
preston in character, and distinctive per-
sonality may be regarded as the outcome
of institutions. 1t seems to be evident that
the delicate pen photography of the igno-
BILE in human nature is too often the ami
| mus in current literature. a subtle tone
of unwholesome pessimism and hopeless
ness is thereby diffused. Idealization of
| character may not be regarded as artistic,
but whether or not this attempt be success
| fnl, the writer will still believe that in that
| direction lies promising field too little
