JOHNsoN's BOSWELL.
The Alleged Original Source of Our
knowledge of English Literature.

knowledge of English Literature.
To some Of us-I suspect, indeed, to
a good many-Boswell represents the
original source not only of knowledge
about johnson, but Of our knowledge Of
English literature in general. He was
our introducer to the great anonymous
club formed by English men of letters
from the days when Shakespeare met
Ben Jonson to the days when Carlyle
discoursed to Froude We became mem
bers Of the craft in spirit under Bos-
wells guidance, whether we have or
have not become actually identified
with it in the flesh. 1t therefore be-
comes next to impossible to abstract
from Boswell-all our later knowledge
has been more or less migrated upon
him, however far we may have travelled
from the source. Boswell gave the nu-
cleus, and more or less consciously we
have used his world as standard inev-
itably taken into account in all later
judgments To suppose Boswell nonex-
istent is for such readers to suppose
kind of organic change in our whole es-
innate of literary characteristics.
When reading, especially about some
of the other famous takers, Coleridge's
monologues or Sydney Smiths explo-
sions of fun, l find myself thinking how
they would have sounded at the Miter
or the Turk Head. Thanks to Boswell,
I take the Johnsonian article to be a
fixed datum like the official yard at the
Tower, and to be asked to put that out
of my head is to be invited to deprive
myself of my only measuring rod. 1t is
exceedingly difficult, at any rate, to put
oneself outside of Boswell and to con-
strue portrait of johnson simply out
of such other materials as are here put
together.
have read Hawkins and Mrs. Piozzi
and the rest, but always with the help
of the preconceived notions. Where
they could be fitted into Boswell have
accepted them as corroborations, but
when they differed l have probably re-
jected the uncongenial elements with
perhaps careless assumption that they
must be inaccurate, and yet it seems
only justice to these respectable persons
to consider whether we ought not to re-
open the point If Nine. D'Arblay saw
something of johnson which was not
revealed to Boswell, may we not disoov-
or similar supplementary hints in the
other attempts at portraiture?-Leslie
Stephen in National Review.

Yes we had to let that nursegirl
go. She was recommended as being
thoroughly up to date, but she seemed
to us to be more than that The first
thing she did was to demand pneumatic

promptly got them. However, we felt
that it was time to draw the line when
she insisted that we must hire a man to

Atmospheric Temperature.

The temperature of the atmosphere
cools, on an average, about one degree
for every 800 feet that we ascend or
warns at the same rate as we descend
The mean temperature at the north
pole is and at the equator between 80
and 80 degrees We can, therefore, get
into temperature one degree colder
for every 10 or 80 miles that we travel
north, and in temperature one degree
warmer for every 70 or so miles that
we travel south. Philadelphia Times.
