A PRINROSE LIBRARY.

Primrose Day has but recently been celebrated
In London, and that stately monument to Beacons.
field which adorns the English capital has once
more been festooned and surrounded by one Of the
ioveiiest OF English blossoms While the memory
OF BeaconsHeld the statesman is thus honored every
year. II seems odd that Disraeli the author Is
remembered with little II any specific actions. In
these DAYS OF literary classification, when every
other book printed appears In series with tpecia
name for the latter. why Is there not Primrose
Library? In the first place, a handsome popular
reissue Of Disraelfs books would be intrinscally
valuable His novels are not great. but they are
far too clever to be ignored Secondly. they would
provide the best possible intiatory volumes for q
series in, which works by Jewish authors alone
would be gathered together. 1t 10 idea which
has never to our knowledge. been Put into
ton. We hear about the Jewish element in fiction,
novels by Jews are printed and rel rinted and from
exploits the Semitic race with sJme ability. Hene
Is never forgotten, and 1t Is not very long since
Mr. Leland began a new edition OF the German au-
thor's complete works But what IS wanted is q
full anthology OF Jewish authors with perhaps
a volume or two devoted to the Ircsentmcnt OF the
Jewish STRAIN In literature and sthetics from the
Old Testament down.
There is q great deal to be said for that strain.
L lraeli Lmfelr believed n 1t profoundly and
though his h oks are. II must be confessed. irne
BYZANTINE they are nevertheless fine iilustra lions

scratched a clever man or a genius you soon found
the Jew, and he was fond Of laying down that
dictum In season and out OF season. Possibly he
carried his enthusiasm too far. Much light might
be thrown on the subject by the careful prepara-
ton OF such series as that suggested above. But
no can blame Lowell for the ardor Of his belief
