Ito have our American cousins inaugurate
such a method of treatment in their own

1t does not seem fair. though, that the old
country should be robbed of its title as the

Those who suppose that the work of
authorship Is easy may be interested to
learn some of the expedients resorted to
by distinguished men of letters. With
strong and vigorous men like Victor Hugo
and Catulle Mendes a walk is sufficient
TO stimulate ideas; the weak. on the con-
trary, like Descartes and Leibnitz, find
their inspiration lying down. Cujas usual

Ambrose Thomas were inspired only when
