Tn. ce,et Americas, N.ysL

No, this 10 not an advertisement or
some book just out for e the holiday
trade. There are many good books
among the many ordinary and poor
ones which are being sliowered In an
ever increasing torrent upon the
American public. A large part q them
are written by Americans and deal
with American scenes and characters
in interesting fashion. There are many
good stories we say, among the new
books on. the market though they do
not seem to be creating the sensation
caused by three or four notable sue
cesses Of a few years ago. And "the
great American novel; Is not among
them. It has not yet arrived. 1t is
doubtless on the way, however, for all
things come to those who wait. and
certainly the American public has
waited with infinite patience and hope
'fuiness for this much-heralded volume.
1.-The great American novel" has fig
ursd extensively in the advance notices
of publishers: and, whenever the
phrase is used, fully a hundred writer's
prick ND their ears, each in confident
expectation Of having the character
ization applied to his own latest work.
But each time it has been a false alarm
and all disinterested parties know that
the immortal fiction embodying the
whole of American life has not yet
been written. But the writing is only
a-minor detail, the recipe has been
given and the rest will be easy when
some man or woman is selected to do
the work. -
A correspondent of the New York
Times Saturday Review has conferred
this boon upon literature. He has been
to the pains OF drawing up q complete
schedule of the things that the great
American novel must contain, clearly
tabulated under six heads. and all that
remains to be done is to build the i'm
mortal book upon his simple plans and
specifications. According to the recipe,
the great American novel must con-
tain the New England puritan and the
landed proprietor of the South, the
European immigrant and the Ameri-
can negro, the prairie farmer, the cow
boy. the western mountaineer and the
California gold miner. the workingman
and the capitalist. 1t must depict the
building of our great transportation
system. the turmoil of a great city. the
quiet life of a village, the penury of
the sweatshop and the luxury of the
millionaire. The manufacturing
growth of the nation must not be for
gotten, nor the labor problem. Our
political development should be
portrayed. with a startling exposure Of
the methods of corruption. A large
and lovely place has to be reserved for
the American woman, and there must
be .ve story. The period must cover
the life Of man from childhood to age
aha tie book must contain the Civil
War. the Chicago fire, the coal strike
and the annexation of the Philippines.
There you have it.. When this Is
properly written, the great American
novel viii be realty. Remember, 1t
will be the great American novel and
not the great American encyclopedia
and library Of historical and bio
gran hical reference. The writing will
be easy now that the recipe is given,
but the task Of getting the public to
read it will be another proposition.

unpaid was held, this week, and
among the bidders was H. H. Rogers
Of Boston. who makes a specially Of
