PAUL LEICESTER FORD.

Paul Leicester Ford, the American novelist is dead
His brother Malcolm Ford. during attack of tenn
pqrary insanity shot and killed him in New York city
Thursday, and Immediately afterward ended his
life.
The death of this distinguished writer under any
circumstances would be deeply regretted; the element
of tragedy attached to his untimely taking off has
shocked the world of letters and the great public who
have learned to admire him from his works.
Paul Leicester Ford is best known the author of
Janice Meredith and The Hon Peter Stirling He
also wrote The True George Washington" and The
ManySded Franklin" There other books to his
credit, but these the principal ones He edited the
writings of Thomas Jefferson in ten volumes and the
writings of John Dickinson in three volumes and
merous other works relating to American history and
photography.
The loss to American literature in Mr. Fords death
be estimated when it is considered that his life
ended at an at which Thackeray, Trollope, George
Eliot and Hawthorne had just begun to do the work
upon which their fame rests. From an author who at
the early literary age of 81 has attained the fame and
the technical skill which Mr. Fords much is to be
expected. The noveliss flower late. At 81 the work
of the artist in fiction has Just begun. Many years
required TO be spent in observation of the passing
show of the world in the study of the mystery of man
and in the hercuean labor of acquiring STYLE in the
right use of words and phrases and sentences, which

Paul Leicester Ford had just passed through the
period of this hard apprenticeship He had put forth
two works which hailed by competent critics as
marking the advent of a writer of genius. THE
Hon Peter Stirling" in spite of certain crudties OF
conception and style is the greatest novel dealing with
