Sir Walter SCOTS writings do not
pass into eclipse behind the later pro-
ducts of genius. The Providence Pub
lie Library issues a bulletin from
which it appears that during ten years
a few books were drawn more than
three hundred and fifty times. Among
these were "Ivanhoe." Guy Manner
ing" "The Bride of Lammermoor,
and "Kenilwcrth-" ''Kenilworth" was
taken out six hundred and twenty-five
times. Thirty-five years after SCOTS
death a London bookseller would not
keep in his stalls sixpenny edition Of
the Waverley novels, because they
killed the sale Of all other books. Yet
the lure was not in sensationalism;
the popular craving was not for pois-
onous sweets; millions Of readers
found only pure and wholesome hu-
man pleasure.

No doubt great deal Of the wrang-

due to the great preponderance OF law

ing: Lawyers, 305; all others, 142.

of bread to an intolerable deal of sack,

whether lawyers are the best legisls-
