But, bless me, have strayed away
from Thackeray and his love and reyer-

ton of them TO literary ends. In all his
books he serves Us not only with feasts la

Turning over published collection of
Thackeray's letters the other day came
across the following to his friend Brook

In that postscript we have a glim pss of
the man as he really was, and The invita-

him, for it was doubtless a good one and
favored with observation-disclosures his gen.

good things offered him.
Thackeray gave much time to the sub

satisfactory o know that it has within its

Lick Observatory needs no repetition, and
some of its achievements ere known

its completion several colossal telescopes
have been stimulated into existence in
various parts of the world, and it some
times seems as if the choicest laurels of

There is little incongruity in the presence
