There never was a more persistent bor-
rover than Virgil. In his Pastorals he
initiates Theocritus: in his Georges he
draws much from Heriod in his Aeneid
he repeats incidents already related by
Homer. but invests them with added
beauties and higher art. And yet Lord
Bacon calls this poet, whom lesser critics
name a plagiarist. "The chastest poet
and the royallst who TO the memory of
men is known" Dante extols him as
GLORY and light of all the tuneful train,
and Tennyson credits him with being
Master of the statliest metre ever mold
ed by the lips of men" He. indeed. trans

priated from another into a thing of

is that the great poets in prose and verse.

STOLE THEIR IDEAS.
All the Grent Poets, Artists, and
Musician. Were Plagiarists.

Plagiarism in its usual sense means lit
erary theft. the purloining or wrongful
appropriation OF another's ideas. The word
may also be applied to purloinings from
music, art. and science. Nathan Haskell
Dole. a well-known author and trans
lator, in n recent address before Boston
woman's club on the subject OF "Origi-
nality in Art and Literature" took the
novel ground that there is no such thing
as originality, and sought to prove the
truth of this assertion by a broad sur
yey of Oriental and Occidental literature,
past and present.

and that this rule holds good in music, art

This surprising view of a minor author

those carping little critics who are al

out many plagairisms of which its writer
