Signs That IL L. Becoming tho Literary
Language.
In one hundred years the United
States will probably have rs many in
habitants as China, and it is not likely
that Canada, Australia, New Zealand
and the Cape will fall much short Of
half their total, especially II England
be reckoned with them. Some have in
deed been found TO maintain that Eng
lish viii not be the language Of tho
whole, even OF the United States, while
others point TO the vigorous vitality OF
the French spoken by the French Can A.
dians and the recrudescence Of the Welsh
in the British Islands as hints that Ian
guages die hard.
But II Is impossible TO suppose that
such considerations can affect the main
question. There are already signs that
English Is becoming the literary lam
guagc of Europe. Prof. Vambery, a
Hungarian, published his autobiography
first in English dress. The Dutch
author Of 1.-THE Sin Of Joost Aveling"
wrote his novel, "An Old Maid" in
English, and the author of "The
Crustacea Of Norway" himself presum-
ably Norwegian, frankly owns in his
advertisement that to obtain the largest
possible circulation for his book 1t will
be issued in the English language
