Certain letters of DR.. Martineau
Monthly confirm the impression of the
man gained from DR.. JackSon's bios-
raphy. The gracious serenity ana
wisdom of the man appear everywhere:
perhaps the following estimate OF
Emerson best illustrates the working
of Martineau's clear. hospitable, and
eminently judicious mind:
Emerson himself ! love and honor
more than his books: though they, too
renort a sweet and noble nature, that
has cleared itself into a light serene
and sublime by pure force Of inward
fidelity. | have been reading his
Conduct of Life, and am quite
offended at the little justice done TO II
by the critics. 1t seems to me rich in
wisdom. Still, l regret his way of
reaching the balance of truth. by CIV
ing an over-balance to each side of 1t
by turns. and trusting to one extrava-
gance for the correction of another. II
Is a habit that demands TOO much
comprehensiveness in his reader
whose nature may get twist from
some strong thrust of thought. from
Whlch the counter pIeSsuie Adiio ~
recover him. The symmetries of Ma
ture are better. which are careful to
show themselves in every part as well
as in the whole. I fancy this method
OF his may be the lingering conse-
ouence of Carlyles early influence
upon him. But the overstatement
native to Carlyle's intense, deep, but
somewhat fierce and narrow genius,
is less congenial with the serene and
lofty breadth of Emerson's wisdom and
sympathy. There is, however, some
thing in Emerson which l am dis
qualified for apprehending, for this
poetry is to me a complete enigma,
which neither in form nor in substance
speaks to me at all. Doubtless he is
wider than | am; and the defect is in
me.

Mr.. Crane left America because his
genius was not recognized here, and
that he took up his abode in England
