Matthew Arnold In Paris.

During his visit to Paris Matthew
Arnold made the acquaintance of
several distinguished French men of
letters, notably among these of
Sainte-B euve, les beaux esprits Sc
rencontrent, and the French critic
admired the English poet almost as
much as the English poet admired
the French critic. We see what en-
sued in the following passage in a
letter to his dearest mother"
What Sainte- Beuve says of me is
charmingly said. I value his praise
both in itself and because it carries
ones name through the literary cir
cles of Europe in way that no Eng
lish praise can carry it,. And then
he adds, with perfect truth, Apart
from that to any one but glutton
of praise the whole value of it lies
in the mode in which it is admins
tered, and this is administered by
the first of living critics and with a
delicacy for which one would look
in vain here. National Review.
