Sir Herbert Maxwell, the Dukes latest biog-
rapher, has been unable to deal with Waterloo
with complete impartiaIity He sees in yelling

Duke, upon that occasion. was nOt-and in his
army invincible host. which it was very far
from being. But the truth about Waterloo has
always been hard to get at and still harder to
state. Mr.. Morris presents it in form unusu-
ally attractive. He has studied we'll the i'm
mense mass of literature relating the sub
ject and has sifted it with Judgment But even
Mr.. Morris has his vulnerable spot. He cannot
conceal his admiration for Napoleon Like his
predecessors he neglccts to abide by the rule
that whoever is to render equal justice to the
Emperor, to Wellington and to Butcher must
rid himself of admiration dislike for all three.
He is interesting, if somewhat prejudiced in
his sketch of the events preceding Waterloo.
The Bourbon Government incompetent. The
Revolutionary elements in FIR ,nch life had not
yet settled down. Affairs were in restless
state. The Restoration brought comfort to
many, but discomfort to more. AS Mr.. Morris
shows one of the most admirable elements in
Napoeon's decision to return to France was his
conviction that the time was ripe for him to
strike. His campaign was not. ultima tely
proved good for the country. But better
moment could have been chosen for it. since it
was bound to come, than the one on which the
exiied Emperor fixed. II he failed it partly
because of conditions with which Waterloo had
nothing to do. The country was exhausted with
years of war. The army was dsorganized and
unprovidcd With adequate resources of arms and
accoutrements. After all the chances of the
great battle have been weighed. after every If

confessed that the state OF the country was

However that may he, 1t Is certain that Napo-

The fiction of the moment is even more
abundant and more interesting than was
expected when the first announcements of the
season Were made. 1t now looks as if the fall
OF 1900 would establish record in respect to
the number of novels brought out with the GER
tainty of being read. Well known names of
course occupy the first part Of the list Mr.
Barrie, Mrs. Ward, Mr.. Hewlett Mr. Crawford
Sir Walter Besant, John Oliver Hobbes-these
are all conspicuous. But the interesting thing
Is that outside OF this brave company there are
numbers of noyelists and writers of short stories
whose work is undeniably diverting A fair
proportion are Americans. In fact more than
half the newer authors of the day are natives
OF the United States. They are being discoy-
cred right and left Every geographical district
has now its novelist. Fiction is being manned
out with prodigiOus thoroughness and sDeed
There Is suggestion here for n student of the
laws Of supply and demand. The Swing that
every man has written a tragedy In his youth
takes no account OF the publishing business
All those great works are expected TO no loft
IN manuscript. They are not written for sordid
pef, but because the authors cannot helm Them
selves. Is IT go with the new noycIsts? Does
the flood OF new fiction simply mean that COMMIT

neglected treasures? Or is it the public do.

The retirement of Mr.. Norman MaccOn from
the edtorship of the London "Atheneum,"
after more than thirty one years of service, re
minds US of the good work that is so often done
by men unknown to the community at large
Mr.. Maccon published a book in 1862 Greek
Sceptics from Pyrrho to Sextus," but that, as
may easily be imagined, was far from making
his name household word. Some authors and
journalists knew. Of course, that he was the
editor of '1The AthenRum," but there were
many more who had never heard of him.
Quietly without line of advertisement, he did
Il great work. For it is a great work to keep
a literary journal head and shoulders above all
its competitors, to be just at a time when log
rollers are filling the air with their cIamor and
what is more. to persuade people that your
journal is right and that the log rollers are
wrong. NJ. MacColl did all this. The Athe-
nnum" is a power in English letters because
1t is a synonyme for sound scholarship and
honest criticism. Scores of the best men of
letters i'll England have contributed TO it's
pages. But Mr.. Maccol has been the principal
force in its development 1t is pleasant to
know that he will continue to write for the
paper on his own subjects, and will. from time

ILLUSTRATED SUPPLEMENT.
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 4. 1900.

The advocates of the index an institution
which should never be neglected may take
heart OF grace In one case at least their wishes
have been considered after what seemed like
Grass defiance The two volumes OF the late
r. +. Browns Letters" lately reviewed in The
Tribune appeared without an index. This was
merely maddcring, as Brown was the kind or
man to fling all manner of things into his let
trrS with no sort of order A passage once lost
could ONLY be recovered by dint of the most
fatigung reorganization of the correspondence
The chorus of protest was loud. Now the Con-
stables. who publish the book in England, write
to the papers to say: I'VE are glad to be able
to inform YOU that the second edition of these
volumes will be ready in a few days, and that
an index has been added Wise publishers!
Clever reviewers, to have accomplished 50
muchi The wonder is that any protest was
needed A book without an index is a flagrantly
miSchievous invention. To be sure, there are
some things worse A book with bad index
is tit food for the flames. But we are content
for the moment TO remark upon the bad policy
of ignoring the index altogether. 1t requires
skill in the making great Skill and not only
education but natural taste. Yet the cost
should not be very great, and there are GER
tainly many writers who could be found TO do
the work. The publisher who announced in the
public prints that he never brought out book,
that was not novel, without an index, would
win great and lasting glory.

CHAUCER's "THE FIGURE AND THE LEFE."
BY JOHN KEATS.

This pleasant tale is like copse:
The. honeyed lines freshly interiace
To keep the reader in sweet a place,
So that he here and there full-hearted stops;
And oftentimes he feels the dewy drops
Come cool and suddenly against his face.
And by the wandering melody may trace
Which way the tender-egged linnet hops
on! what a power has white Simplicity.
