JAMES AND ENGLISHMEN.

cans The Times is very kind to Mr..

of the finest European culture wiah native
American genius" 1t speaks further of
his possession of s'an advantage which a
cultivated American often enjoys as COM
pared with an equally cultivated English
man, in that lie sees the whole culture of
Europe in a common perspective, and as
Stimulates all its elements indifferently.o
But Mr.. James by tn time must have
achieved this advantageous point of view
as to either side of the Atlantic He has
lived abroad long enough now to be of
real use to help his old-time countrymen
to see themselves as the truly initiated see
them. 1t is to be hoped that he will
make voyage to the New World again
some time, and tell us about ourselves,
and in particular determine whether we
have grown since lie knew us before and
and il SO in what respects. Mr. James
views of the civilization OF Chicago, if
founded on adequate personal inspection,
would be of the highest interest, but
whether any prospect of usefulness to his
fellows would tempt him to make per-

pause to the inquirer. r.-Horper WeektD.
