r Mr. George Gissng, bringing to close his
series of travel sketches, by the IOnan Sea,
in the "FOrtnightly,'' uncOnsciOuSly gives the
critic warning against too sure an identified
ton Of an authors work with an authors per
sonality For many years this English novelist
has been writing stories in which, with obvious
sincerity, he has studied nothing but the
shabby, prOsaic side of London life. But as he
stands upon the Calabrian shore he breads the
return to that existence in which "circum-
stance ever menaces with dreary harassment,
and he concludes: LAS looked my last toward
the Ionian Sea l wished it were mine to wan
der endessly amid the silence of the ancient
world, to-day and all its sounds forgotten" 1t
is impossible to doubt that this wish holds
more than the emotion of the moment. The
whole book as it's instruments have appeared,
has impressed the reader with a sense of Mr..
Gissings profound delight in classical things,
vet the works by which he is known have
never given the faintest hint Of it. Without
these pages the critic might easily classify him
as in his very fibre harsh realist. With them
# is not unnatural to wonder if the novels are
really the true expression of his genius, If it
is not likely that through his devotion to real
istic fiction a poet, historian and descriptive
writer of unusual charm has been lost to Eng
lish literature

The art of authorship threatens to take one
more queer turu-at time when "queerneSs
is getting to be so common that it is losing It's

opening of the twentieth century to be cele-
brated by the preparation of an adequate"
history of English literature, and Sir Walter
Besant makes some observations on the sub
ject Reducing the proposition to figures, Sir
Walter calculates that the work could be pro-
duced, in a form resembling that of the Die
tionary of National Biography" at something
less than $4,000 a volume. 1t is well to count
the cost of such an enterprise as this in ad-
vance. But Sir Walter Besant goes further.

about what somebody has written about what

ought to show a little more resolution when
they are asked to do the things that they pro-

sIonal reviewer has a grievance. 1t is often
his painful duty to expose the freshness of a
book. We never heard of any member of the
guild who rejoiced in the task But apparently
there are scores of irresponsible individuals
who can refuse no call; they must be writing

did she rest, and Ia the morning she
was well.
Holt stayed few days at the inn,
and on his departure boldly asked for
his bill. Sir" said the hostess. "it is

SO he departed. Forty years after
