who has written several volumes Of
real merit and Importance. His vol

much penetrating criticism and
grasp. and is the best work we are
acquainted with covering the perior of

Mr.. Gosse has done this we think with

of essays of much cleverness, in which
he discusses Mrs. Browning's very re-

Gerald, Tolstoi, Christian Rossetti,
Stevenson, Pater and some others Of
the later writers. Gosse possesses for
US a decided fascination, and we are
always glad to read him. He is beyond
a writer of brilliancy and sensl-

not be always accurate. Of khom
can this be affirmed. Even HaZlitt and
Lamb and Macaulay and Lockhart err.
