Among all the notices OF Blackmore'
A,orbans none gives us so good pen picture
Of him as this from the New YORK Her-
aid. "Blackmore was intended for tne
law but he soon turned from It's severity
in tho Middle Temple to the lighter nelo
=, literature. He did not win sue
cess with a bound and was not parlcu-
larly prolific writer. Nor did Lorna Doone
itself at first attract the favor OF the pun,
fishers. For year and halI, biachllo .,
savs in his preface TO its twentieth eal'
lion the book shiyered in the cold corner
without a sun ray. Your native lana uls
dained YOUR voice, ana America answered
mo child of mine"
"Mr. Blackmore's intimate knowledge o
shrub tree and fruit in orchard ana gar
den. ranging almost from the hyssop OF
the wall TO the herb Of the field, came iron
his lifelong love Of gardening, n.
DAVIS were mainly spent Denlnu nls nle'
} brick walls among his trees and mower
and vegetables. When the vines went I
sleep OF an evening he began to write
bestowlng such care on his work Una
l sometimes he would complete no NOR
than a paragraph at q sitting sraN
rugged seafaring man, kindly and gen
lie Blackmore in this peaceful, almos
idyllic existence filled out the tale OF al
seventy-hve years"
, What pang it must have given him I
= hid farewell to the verdure, the beau
= ty the sweetness of this spot, where ever
I leaf and blossom was the child OF his Low
ing care. He would not have exchanged
even for the gardens where grow the go
even for the gardens where grow u
golden apples of Hesperides, Let us hor
y that it will remain as he has left II,
witness to the purity and goodness OF u
man. even as Lorna Doone' is the mont
ment to the author.
