Matthew Arnold.

The fourteen years that have elapsed
since Matthew Arnold's death have added
greatly to the number of his readers, es-
pecially the readers Of his poems. Perhaps
no English poet of any time appeals so di-
rectly and so exclusively to the cultivated
taste of the educated classes. The more
widely mental culture spreads the higher
Mr. Arnolds fame will be. He saw life
as a scholar and a man of letters, and his
writings appeal exclusively to that class.
Matthew Arnold" by Herbert w. Paul, is
at once a biography, a character sketch
,<and a literary history of the noted writer
His personal biography occupies but little
space in the book, while the account of his
educational and literary work is quite full
Besides treating in a critical way of Mr.
Arnolds writings, prose and poetry, the
author discusses his philosophy, his the
ology and his politics. In q concluding
chapter il is said: Mr. Arnold's contribu-
tions TO pure literature seem secure of a
permanent place in the shelves and the
minds of Englishmen. He had his critical
limitations, but judging his critical work
at its best one can hardly overtrafn IL. 1t
Is original, penetrating, lucid, sympathetic
and just. OF all modern poets, except
Goethe. he was the best critic, and of all
modern critics, with the same exception
he was the best poet" All who wish TO
have better acquaintance with Mr.. Arnold
and better appreciation of his works will
be interested in this volume. 1t is published
in English Men of Letters" series by the
Macmillan Company.

of expression, his knowledge of the sea
and those who brave il. that impresses the
reader with the belief that Mr.. Bullen has
served in every capacity about ship, that
ne has filled all positions from cabin boy
to master and that he has sailed on every
thing from an old six-kuOt tub TO a six
teen-knot, fOur-mested iron clipper, or
from a little wheezy steam coaster to
great triple-screw transatlantic liner Be
sides, he seems TO be as familiar with one
sea as another, for it is no trouble for him
10 lead the reader from an English port to
the harbors of Australia, from the West
TO the East Indies, or from the banks Of
Newfoundland to the coast of China. His
stories tell of adventures on whalers, mer-
chantmen, piratical craft and modern
steamships. Some of the shippers that
command his ships bad. others are
crazy and some are good. His sailors are
of all nationalities and of all degrees of
goodness and wickedness, such as are found
in the fOrecaste all the world over.
Mr.. Bullen weaves q thread of romance
through a few of his stories-tragic love
affairs, as a rule-but his best tales are
those of the sea alone. There is life and
action, comedy and drama, i'm a Genial
Skipper" and "Alphonso McGinty." The
Last Stand of the Decapods," "A Mon
arch's Fall and "Deep-sea Fish are mix

A Stevenson Book.

Messrs. L. c. Page & Co, Boston, who are
issuing a series of volumes each of which
purports to contain the best writings of
some one author, offers as its latest col
lection, THE Best of Stevenson" Prob
ably no two admirers of any author who
has written unanimously and we'll will
ever agree as to what is the best" writ
ing their favorite has done. Therefore
there will be many TO disagree with the
choice of Alexander Jessup, the editor OF
this volume, and TO say that he has omit
ted the best things, or at least some of
them. But at least what is here presented
is good, and, in its variety. representative.
The book is prefaced by a Stevenson biog-
raphy, glance over which refreshes the
memory and causes fresh surprise at the
amount OF work accomplished in the au-
thors short life. Following this is intro
GuctiOn which is a study and an estimate
by the editor of StevenSOn's work. liz
contains nothing especially new or original.
but is worth the reading. The selections in
the volume are: "Win o. the Mil" "Vir-
ginibus Puerisque," The Flight of the
Heather" The Strange Case of DR.. Je1yll
and Mr. HYDE The Voice Among the
Trees" 'Markheim," AIS Triplex'T and
several poems. 1t is a little volume worth
having even by those who have the same
productions IN other setting. \ fine photo

Gentleman Garnet.

This novel, which bears the subtitle "A
Tale Of Tasmania is by Harry B. Vogel.
1t purports to tell a story of life which
dates back to 1888. The first chapters re-
count some OF the dreadful inhumanities
and fortunes to which the convicts sent out
from Great Britain were subjected by their
cruel overseers, some of whom were Eng
lish officers. Gentleman Garnet was
one OF three convicts who found
life so insupportable that they
preferring to starve or die by bullets
rather than to perish in the convict gang
one OF the three had served five years
OF fourteen-year sentence on a sheep
run and had developed into a marvellous
bushman. BY shepherding and driving
sheep and cattle TO distant pastures or
across country to distant centers there
to be sold, he had acquired a most detailed
and exact knowledge of the interior of the
colony. He had knowledge Of a secure
hiding place supposed to be surrounded by
swamps, through which he had found a
safe path, unknown to any but himself.
To that retreat the fugitives fastened and
as they passed beyond the swamps found
an deal spot, bounded by high wooded
hills and furnished with a stream of pure
water and with many acres of green
pasture. How they made this their home

ward offered for them. dead or alive, and
how, at last, they escaped safely from the
country and sailed for a free land forms
