AN IDLER ON HIS CONTEMPORARIES

The Idlen NAYS Emo Sr Mp pp 2s % Charles serioner
Sons.
When, few years ago. under the pseudonyme
of AN Ider," Mr. Eliot Gregory began to write
for the daily press his papers on social topics,
his work attracted attention for it's common
sense its ease and its cleverness. One could
see at glance that 1t from a man who
knew the world. Mr.. Gregorys earlier papers
made their way between covers under the title
of Worldly Ways and Byways," and received
the warm appreciation from the book reading
public that they deserved. Now comes another
volume 'The Ways of Men" In this the au-
thor shows disposition to seek his themes less
I'm society and more in the larger world OF art
and of affairs.
He maintains his amiabe tone, but now and
then his style grows labored; he betrays, too,
a certain thinness Of thought and rather
wearied hunt for theme. The essay on Ma
chine Made Men," for example might Ju-
diciously have been left out; it is too trivial.
Here and there too lapses of taste are OBJ
served. surprising on the part of one whose
plea is always in behalf Of good taste. The
lapses are to be found in those papers dealing
with the personal side Of men and women OF
distinction in which. by the way, Mr. Gregory
drops his literary character and becomes the
lynx eyed journalist. His paper called "Cyrano.
Rostand Coquelin," is an admirable piece of
reporting. "Calve at Cabrieres' is all this, and
something more, an amusing bit OF sentimental
ity Mr.. Gregory would do we'll in future to
be more severe with himself in selecting from
his newspaper writings material for book pub
lication. good deal OF matter in the present
volume completely served it's purpose when
first printed.

One of the delightful features of the Shake
speare- Bacon controversy is the ease with whlch
the same argument may be used on either SIDE
Consequently the discussion is likely never to
end. BY the same reasoning, it is likely never
TO impajr Shakespeare's reputation. Indeed, so
firmly does he stand in spite of the herce as
saults of the Baconians, that the Shakespear-
ians are apparently losing all martlal spirit anu
assuming a tone of mildness. FOR example
nothing could be less bitter or resentful IMAM
the tone of Mr. Charles Aliens Notes on the
Bacon -Sha kespeare Question" 1t is true that III
his preface be speaks of 'the stih vexeo ques-
tion,; but it is seen at that it never vexes
him. He treats it politely almost impersonaliy
He walks around it on tiptoe, surveying II WIN
curious but never impertinent eyeglasses. He
even consents at times to assume the defensive
q position which, on the part OF the Shake
spearian is purely gratuitous, not to say dam
gerous.
WHY should Mr. Allen take the trouble to de-
vote a whole chapter to exposing Shakespeare's
.F1amiliarfty with Theatrical Matters? Surely
this is the very kind of argument with which
the Baconians lash themselves Bacon was
enough of of the world to know theatrical
terms and to use them, If he chose with ease,
even with Skill, especially as many of them had
passed into the current coinage of speech. Be
sides it, as the Baconians maintain. Shake
speare was Bacon's tool. why should not Bacon,
for purposes of Disguise have deliberately used
theatrical terms, or have instigated his actor
accomplce to introduce them here and there in
the plays? How easy it is to take a brief for
the other side, Mr.. Aliens book contains an
impressive list of authorities, and, in addition
to a general index, index Of legal terms.

CYCLOPEDIA OF CLASSIFIED DATES. With

This book has been compiled for the use of
students of history and for all persons who
desire speedy access to the facts and events
which relate 10 the histories of the various
countries OF the world from the earliest recorded
dates" Its purpose is to combine the essential
features of a universal history, a biographical
dictionary, a geographical gazetteer and several
other books of reference. The plan is a good
one and has been eXcellently carried out. We
may take in illustration the first country
treated. 1t is Abyssinia, the book is alpha
betical in its scheme First. have a brief
note the location of the country its area
population. people and religion. Then, chrono-
logically, every important matter is briefly en-
tered under certain heads. The Army and Navy
have space to themselves; also has the
Church so has the State, has Society and
there is a the page given to things
Miscellaneous
The more civilized countries have. Of course
more departments. Thus, in dealing with the
United States, the author separates his informa-
ton under the following heads Army and
Navy Art and Science Nature Births and
Deaths, Church, Society State and Miscellane-
Gus. The scheme is comprehensive IF the stu
dent wishes to know about the English pre-
Raphaelites the index will direct him TO a note
which indicates the character Of the school and
the date Of its rise and if he is looking up the
subject of przehghting in America this book
will render him similar service. Brevity of
course. has been cultivated with the utmost
care but ii must be admitted that the editor
has succeeded in packing suitable information
into the shortest possible sentences. A service
able table of authorizations has been prepared
and a salient merit of the Cyclopedia is its
practical character. The student grasps its
working plan at once, and finds that it is easy
TO handle. This gives in short, a kind of boil
ing down Of ali the encyclopedias and dction-
aries. The latter remain Indispensable but this
book also will take permanent place in school
rooms. in private Libraries. and wherever cIews
relating to a thousand and recorded matters

on his shelves. But when he heard of the Eng

must necessarily be valuable production. Here
may quote his words, setting forth in
