Justine Mccarthy, Irish member of
British parliament, at one time leader
of the Irish members, but resigned, is
a distinguished and gifted man of let
tiers as well as a statesman of no mean
capacity. He is the author of several
really clever novels-not great, but
popular and enjoyable-and has writ
ten n of the most interesting histo-
ries in all English literature. His
Dear Lady Disdain," is thought to be
his best novel. "The History of Our
Own Times" is remarkably entertain
ing. We do not know any other his
tory of the Victorian reign that is so
brilliant and fascinating save Macau-
lays and Froude's and Green's. These

not as dry, plodding record of e

almanac or yearly register of events.

Probably we have read SCOTS "The
Abbot" three times. 1t has never en-
gagged us as some of the seven or eight
Scotch novels that are regarded as his
cleverest, or as Quentin Durward" or
"Kenilworth" or ''Ivanhoe" real glories
of literature. But our last reading Of
"The Abbot" awakened in us a new
interest, greater than ever before. The
portrait of the very unfortunate Mary
precision and with def skill. 1t is a
masterpiece of the kind, and whether
true or overdrawn, it is a most fasci-
mating picture of one of the most IA
nous of women who was literally muir
dered by Queen Elizabeth, of England.
There are many powerfully drawn
scenes, most dramatic, most subduing,
and the interest never flags from the
opening scene to the sad close. It is
a greater production than We had
hitherto regarded it. 1t is great
enough to make a lasting fame for
any novelist. Think Of the fifteen or
twenty most delightful creations Of
Scott and his ten Or twelve immortals.
Glory enough for any age, or country
or author. Others may think as they
may, but to us Scott remains not only
the best Of all story t~ellers, but the
greatest creative mind since Shakes
peare. Other romancists are so far
behind him as to make it impossible
to class any of them with him AS a
highly spirited, marvellously gifted
~raconteur Dumas, the elder, is to be
placed next to Scott. But there are
extraordinary qualities and varieties
in Scott you do not find in the French
man. There is a vast difference, as
great as is the difference between the
immortal Thackeray and all his imi-
tators and disciples.

in several volumes. The elder author
has recently added a fresh volume to
his history. He wrote a work we have
not read-"History of the Four
Georges" He will connect that with
his other distinguished history, thus
covering the entire period from the
death of Queen Anne until our time.
OF all novelists his favorite is Dickens,
we see stated. He says, and we are in
full sympathy with it,that he finds that
great writer "ever fresh and inspiring"
and the interest is ~unfaging as when
he first read the works. A writer in
