To an outsider it looks as though in de-

perience should, we think have been retain

How Thackeray Wrote Of Death.

The following is taken from a letter OF
coincidence written by Thackeray to Mrs.
Proctor on the death of her mother,
shortly before Thackerays death. The
letter is found in the biogr aphical intro
duction to Denis Duval, the twelfth in the
valuable biographical edition of Thack-
eray's complete works, published in the
United States by Harper & Brothers, and
shows the great novelist as he was at heart,
earnest and sublime; not the cynic, the
satiriSt, that SO many have considered him.
The introductions to the thirteen volumes
of this new edition constitute the only
biography in existence of Thackeray.
