notable list of contributors, includ
ing w. d. Howells, Robert Louil
Stevenson,J Joel Chandler Harris, II. C
Bunner, Harold Frederick, and Will II
Low. The contribution of Mr.. How
ellis is remarkable one. Under the
title, 1.-THE Man of Letters as Man Of
Business" he discusses with perfect
frankness the whole relation of litera
ture to business, especially the rela
tions of the writer with the editor and
the publisher, 1t is striking presen.
tation of those things about which the
public is so often misinformed. An
other art ticle of unusual interest, both
intrinsically and by reason of its liter
ary associations, is Robert Stevenson &
journal of the voyage made by Sir
Walter Scott in 1914 around Scotland
in the light house yacht. This init
mate view of Sir Walter by a man of
such acute perceptions as the great
engineer of Bell Rock light house, is
peculiarly gen nuine and free from the
glamour which Scott s great fame has
usually cast over those who have writ
ten about him. There is an introduc.
tory note by Robert Louis Stevenson,
the illustrious grandson of the au-
thor of the diary, which links third
interesting personality to the nara,
tive.
