the best which has thus far appeared.
The notes are never intrusive. They are in
troduced only when they needed, and in
every case they bring something to the work
that is worth while, some sidelght upon the
matter in hand. drawn from any one or from
several of a hundred sources, for this editors
reading has carried her a wide field, and
she has a pleasant way Of giving those I'M
expected and piquant quotations which are the
most welcome of all in a new edition of a
classic The publishers have risen admirably to
the occasion. The type used in these volumes
is clear; the paper is good, and not too heavy;
the two photographers prefxed to each volume
make a most interesting series of portraits and
Illustrations and the whole enterprise is
stamped with good taste. The biography is
presented, III short, under precisely the right
conditions. But if Miss Francis is altogether
adequate in her handling OF everything in the
book that relates to Scott, she is little less
than authoritative in her treatment OF Lock-
hart That picturesque figure in English let
ters has too often been misunderstood and mis-
represented yet we must deprecate the tone OF
excessive anna biIty which runs through the
biogra phcal sketch of him printed in the first Of
these volumes.
In the reaction started in his favor in 1896,
when the biography by Mr.. Andrew Lang was
published, there has been danger of going too
far in laudation of the man. Miss Francis GER
tainly goes too far in her portrait of Lockhart,
giving his indutitably lovable traits IN
due salience. so that a reader un1a-
rniliar with the subject might easily de-
rive from her pages one-sided idea OF
personality which had bad as we'll as good
points But especially is it injudicious TO say,
as Miss Francis says Of Lockhart, that he
was that rare thing in our race, born critic
He was q born of letters. but that Is very

far from being necessarily the same thing
Would born critic have remained for as long
a time as Lockhart remained insensible to the
genius of the Lake poets and Of Keats? Would
he have missed as LockhaTt missed, the true
significance of Tennyson when that poet rose
upon the horizon? Lockhart was one of those
who, when Jane Eyre" appeared thought that
it must have been written, IF not by a man. by
a very coarse woman 1t certainly was not
The critical temperament that there declared it

clever man dealt with literature all his life long,
and always with brilliant Intellectual force,
he lacked the ntuitive insight of the born critic
We would not dwell upon the point if it were
not that just because Of the manner in which
he has been misinterpreted over and over again,
it is regrettable to find his position stated, in
this fine edition of his best work, in misleading
terms. However, for all else that Miss Francis
has done in these volumes let Us be grateful

Death of Er-Monsignor Bauer.

From The London Chronicle
singular parsonage in Paris social life says
our Paris correspondent has disappeared in the
person of ex-MonsignOr Bauer, VINO was former
ly the brilliant chaplain of the Tuileries. NJ
Bauer. who of Jewish extraction, began life
as stock brokers' clerk, but suddenly aban-
doned that calling and entered the seminary Of
st. SuIpice. After his ordination his eloquence
attracted Napoleon III, who offered him court
cha plaincy, with the special task of teaching
the prince imperial e-ocutOn. MOnsignor Bauer
drew large congregations, and on several occa-
sions he occupied the pulpit of N0tre Da1le- He
accompanied the Empress Eugene to Egypt,
and delivered a magnificent discourse at the IN
augurai ceremony of the Suez Canal During
the war of 1870 MonsignOr Bauer attended the
sick and wounded outside the walls of Paris.
In 1872 he wrote to Cardinal Guibert inform
ing him that for personal reasons he could no
longer support the yoke of the priesthood. Since
then the ex-preate has been constant ire
quenter of the Opera, and the affable patron OF
art and literature. His means were consider
able and he gave away a good deal in charity.
He was very popular among his former lmper-
ialist friends and enjoyed a joke over his for
mer career. On one occasion he met General de
GaIiffet on the staircase of the Opera, and gave
him a 1nctilious military salute The general
smiled benignantly. and, raising his hand Sol
