Apropos of prose writing, 1t Is an unfailng
source of wonderment to one under whose
observation comes the fiction of the year, that
so much of this work should be so good. We
find no distinctive style; but dictiOn is easy
and varied and suitable construction is excel
lent, description is unaffected-in short most
of the laws of taste are regarded. 1t is true
that hardly two out of a hundred of the well
devised and well written novels of the period
are remembered six months after they are
read, but their workmanlike qualities are worth
noting again and again. The reading world
would probably give them all and double the
number for one new "Pickwick." For Charles
Dickens remains a formidable rival to the most
popular nOvelists Of our time. More new edi-
tions of his works have just been proclaimed,
and there is to be reclOned with constant
stream of books and Magazine articles dealing
with his writings, his personality and his his
tory. The big sellers in fiction come-and go
and their authors do not know what real popu-
larity means What novel Of to-day would, like
"Pckwick,'' have been read n the great Abbey
by scores of clever men and beautiful women
We cannot think of any living novelist to
whose readings would thrOng such impatient
and breathless crowds as those who laughed
and cried as Charles Dickens rehearsed the
court scene in ''Pickwick," or told how little

Americans have lately been called upon to
take notice of the verse of child of eight
tender years, ana now comes the announce
ment of a first volume of poems by an English
man of seveIty-siX. The unknown author has
given many decades to the polishing of the
rhymes which are supposed to reflect his life
experience 1t is much to be feared that the
academic perfection of one poet will be as
wearisome as the empty crudities of the other.
What stretches of correct, stale and fiat verse
are visible between these two extremes today!

poetry with all the elegancy and facility that
HoIofernes could ask for-but where be the
golden cadences? Why has mankind grown so
unpoetic? The pursuit Of material things does
not explain it altogether. What has become OF
the lyric strain that is compensation for even
rough metre and forced rhyme? MediOcrity, |
Sufficiency, self-cOnsCiOusreSS, initiative
