more interest and value than hundred sonor-
Gus pages" and that the publication of the
vivid Autobiography of DR.. Carlyle of Inveresk
was discouraged by Adam Ferguson and others
on the ground that the incidents and anecdotes
were too unimpOrtant to- interest the public"
1t is lucky for the reader that Scottish gossip
and Scottish traditions were more liberal than
Scottish biography. since it is largely to such
sources that we these chapters full of
humor and picturesque personal detail
Scots literature was born according to our
author in the dngy Edinburgh taverns wherein
clubs of more less witty and well bred gem
tlemen of the eighteenth century met to discuss
politics philosophy and classic verse over their
cups The universities We're then dull to dead
ness; but as the century waxed toward the
middle new philosophic forces arose to break
some of the bonds which the hard and narrow
theology of the seventeenth century had forged
for the Scottish intellect. One of the boIdest
of the rising young thinkers was Master David
Hume, the lank, book loving. frugal son of the
little laird of Ninewes, in Berwickshire Pass
ing poor on fJ0 year the young man settled
down after tour in France to his philosophic
studies AT Nineweils. 'Davys fine good
natured crater but uncommon wake-minded
said kind commonplace Mother Hume as she
hustled about the house and the failure of
Davys first venture. the Treatise on Human
Nature" probably convinced the good woman
that she was quite right. But Providence had
something better in reserve, and the wake
minded crater had become in the fifties the
darling Of daring. free thinking youth, the
admiration of men who, though they
might differ from him in philosophy and religion
delighted in his brilliant. lucid and suggestive
arguments and speculatons. Mr.. Graham says
that Hume in the midst of arguments that seem
to shatter every evidence for belief in theism
still implies that belief "as the most likely solu-
ton of the problems of the world" Whether
he adds, this due to Hume's caution or
TO his conviction. is not very clear. 1t is not
surprisir &, however. from the halting way he
puts the positive side of question, that his
conclusions do not feel conclusive"

suggestive essay might be written on Su-
pererOgation in translators They have often a
curious way of doing the thing which does not
need to be done, because it has already been
done to perfection. Witness Mr.. Laurence
Housman. who has made translation of
"Aucassin and Nicolette." What in the world
he has made it for we cannot guess Perhaps
for the sheer pleasure of making it, and that,
one might say, ought to be good enough rea-
son. But Mr.. Housman seems also to have
made it for publication, and there's the rub.
There is no need of a new translation of this
exquisite piece of old French literature one of
the sweetest love stories in the world Two
versions already exist. One of them, by Mr.
Andrew Lang, is little masterpiece, so fine
production that even while we admit the excel
lence of the other translation. Mr. f. w Bour-
dllons. could very easily get along without
it. Well, can very easily read Mr. Hous-
mans translation once, and forget 1t, or prize
it, thereafter according as it falls below or sur
passes Mr.. Langs; and, in any case we do not
mean to be captious- We do not grudge this
newcomer in the field the enjoyment of his effort
Yet we cannot shake off a sneaking feeling that
he might better have employed himself upon
some other task, and we may say as much of
other literary experimenters in these latter
days New translations are constantly turning
up, and while in some cases they are acceptable
they often strike us as sadly superhuOus.
