the first six or seven years, was then handed
over to the Jurisdiction of his father. and was
taught by him how to play a mans part in the
world. The daughter escaped her fathers train
ing. When the time came for her marriage she
in turn was launched upon the world after the
businesslike method which had welded her
father and mother. This is the domestic philos-
ophy of the Renaissance in nutshells it put
each individual in his place. and kept him or
her there. Passion, affection character were
not supposed to influence in any way the evolu-
tion of family life and. in logical sequence, the
general habits of society at large But passion.
affection and character must, OF course, find
some outlet. and NJ. de Maulde's purpose is to
show how they found it and what they did with
It during the Renaissance.

The modern novelist, as we all know, is con
strained To make himself acquainted with
everything under the sun. His Omniscience is
taken as a matter of course. But occasionally
ii wears a funny aspect. Mr.. William Westall,
for example, writes a novel, "As Luck Would
Have It," and one of his reviewers promptly
pOunces on a flaw in his climax 1t is excellent
in its way, we are told, but lit has led Mr..
Westall into an unnecessary statement of n
piece of bad law" Furthermore, he is accused
of forgetting "the deceased wife's sister Ques-
tion,' which is obviously worse than even
speaking disrespectfully of the Equator. Mr..
Westall repels the latter accusation with indig-
nation. But the gem of his letter to "The
AthenHum" is to be found in this passage:
OF piece of bad lawl / consulted several law
books, and took the opinions of two learned
gentlemen. the one Doctor the other Il Mas

old as realistic" fiction or romantic for that
matter But somehow this defence seems to us
humOr. II raises such a quaint picture before
us of the popular novelist preparing an ephem-
eral story, and consulting first a Doctor" then
a Master of Laws"i Just the same, these "cOn-
sultatiOns" into which legal and other special
lists are drawn by their novel writing friends,
