We quote on another page Sir Walter
ReSant'S wise comments on the silly charge
that literature is degraded by attention to the
business side He thinks this false view rests
upon Il confusion of ideas between commercial
value and literary value. This is true enough
but what is chiefly responsible is the cant fos
tered more or less from time immemOral, but
chiefly in our own age by those who possess,
or think they possess, the artistic temperament
Who does not know the poet, or painter, or
musician who loves to have you understand
that he has no head for business? If the type
We're only encountered among the pretenders
it would not excite surprise But the truth is
that men and women of genuine ability
often guilty of the same nonsense. With a
vanity that would be funny if it were not CON
temptible these gifted individuals seem to take
it for granted that a jocular expression of
ignorance where matters of business, or poll
tics, science are concerned will impress the
people they meet with sense of their sublime
absorption in things of the spirit No doubt
they are sincere. They are indeed ignorant.
But their ignorance is not the credit to them
that they think it is. On the contrary, t in
dicates very often weakness of character and
an intellectual narrowness of which they would
fate to be accused.

II reviewing NJ. Edouard Greners Literary
"Reminiscences fortnight ago we felt called
upon. to protest against his gratutous slurs on
the memory of Heine slurS evidently based on
smoldering personal resentments. 1t is graft
flying to find Mr.. w. Beach Thomas undertak-
ing Il more elaborate defence of the poet IN the
number of 'Macmillan'S Magazine just pub
lished All of Nj. Grenier's accusations, he
rightly maintains, fail of their effect even IL
true enough when forced into illogical isola-
ton because they do not touch the essence OF
either Heine's genius or his character The
point is Justly made. PurveyOrs of malicious
gossip seem to think that they have only to
cite what they call Il fact in order to con-
vince the world. The reader who knows the
essence of the genius and character of the dead
man attacked by these pratterS Che is always
a dead man, you may be sure) IS PROOF
against their misleading divagations. But MT.
Thomas puts his finger on grave abuse Wheh
he says aprOpoS Of NJ. Greniers readable
stories, that "thc anecdotal charm of the writ
ing has a danger of its own, if only for the
subtle ease with which the matter is lnslnuated
into the memory" The mass of mankind 1allS
an easy victim to a we'll turned anecdote. 1t
will stick where a long discourse would leave
no impression whatever. 1t is for this reason
that the vogue of the modern gosSiper Is most
to be regretted.
New-York tribune., 1900-04-22

The practice of placing an original verse at
the head of each chapter in novel has the
sanction of more than one famous author.
Scott wrote some of his best poetry for this
purDose In our own day Mr.. Kipling has
written some admirable chapter headings in
verse. But Scott was no dabster, foiSting into
his novels poems which he could not get printed
in any other way. He was a poet by right
divine MI Kiplng also before he took the
control of the British Empire in his hands,
could write ballads that needed prose fiction
to carry them But when the minor novelist
his chapter headings, he adds a new terror to
life He is becoming bolder and bolder every
year Now he even includes rhymed prologues
and epiogues in his books, dedcatOns in verse,
and long songs, so called. which his heroine is
supposed to sing. This is hardly fair to the
reader, and if the novelist only knew it. it is
hardly fair to him. He thinks, of course, that
his poetry-heaven save the marks a valu-
able addition to his pages He likes to be
thought ambidextrous But all he does is to
bore US all he does is to exhibit the most ap-
palng medOcrity in the midst of what we are
sometimes willing to accept as reasonably good
work These lyrical interpretations of his are
bad enough when they are merely sentimental.
When they aim at being philosophical and epi-
grammatic they cause the reader to shudder.
1t is all very we'll to quote Shakespeare or even
Browning at the top OF a chapter. Browning,
in fact never seems desirable a poet as
when we get him in this fragmentary way.
But original verse should be escheWed by the
average novelist a thing bound to do him
incalculabe damage
