We were delighted to learn through
our townsman, Mr.. Ohas. l.. Van Mop
pen, that his brother, Mr. Leonard c..
Van Noppen, had Recently returned to
New York from two years trip aboard
to have work of his published The
special field of Mr. Van Noppen's labor
has been the literature and history Of
his native land, Holland. A country rich
in deeds of heroism and fertile with the
gems of some Of the greatest scholars
of the world
Mr.. Van Noppen's present publication
is a translation of the best Dutch poems,
being the first rendition of them into
English verse.
The chief of these poems is Vondel's
"Lucifer," which is nearly 5000 lines
in length and is known as the nOblest
tragedy in that language.
1t is to Dutch verse what Milt0n's' Par
adise Lost" is to the English, and as
matter of fact, Milton was largely infu-
enced by this very poem while writing
his masterpiece.
The highest praise has been given to
Mr.. Van Noppen's translation by the
ablest poets and scholars in Holland for
his fine Interpretation Of the genius and
spirit of the Dutch poets. Several New
York publishing houses are quite anxious
to bring this book out, as it is the first
production in this field, and a large sale
is instantly assured through the Holland
Society Of New York.
1t is interesting to note that just be-
fore leaving The Hague, Mr.. Van Mop
pen was presented with a magnificent
etching by Joseph Israels. with his au-
tograph beneath.
1T will be remembered that Jospeh Is

probably the greatest living artist in the

Fair, will remember his "Alone in the

prize in THAT unparalleled exhibition Of
art.
