We have taken stock again this year Of
the books that have passed through our
office, winnowing out the few that seem
to possess more than passing interest o.
value, and gathering them together into
brief survey. The process is dishearten-
ing on the whole. There are so many books
printed. so many that mean time and labor
for the author, labor and money for the
publisher money and time for the reader
and disappointment for all. They lie in a

And the chief lesson to be learnt from their
coming and going is merely this, that there

dency and. as a mass, to illustrate no intel
lectual aim-we speak of them in the gross,
not of the few. And 1t becomes more ap-
parent every day that Lowell's dictum was
right: There can be no American litera-
ture until We have an American criticism"
1t is for this reason that we scan with

year has produced not a single American
book of this sort in any way really notable.

Boston Transcript.
Everybody who knew John Fiske. the
historian (and everybody could know him
who wanted to and was worthy, for there
was never the slightest trace of pride of
scholarship or any other mean exclusive
ness about HIM, will be delighted to hear
that Mr.. William r. Thayer, the genial and
accomplished Cambridge litterateur and
student of Italian history and letters, is to
be editor of Mr.. Fiske's literary remains.

and thoroughly good fellow" that there
must be many little notes and letters treas

Thayer has undertaken to edit the
letters, journals and memorials of John
Fiske, and he will be glad to
and memorabilia that may exist among
the papers of his friends to add to these
more formal productions and complete

head and enormous stature and keen glance
was a notable and imposing figure in his
own person. one to attract attention on the
street or In any PUBIC aSSemDlage. NO
portrait ever was or could be made of him
that did not instantly command interest.
But no less striking was his ever boylike,
unsophisticated nature, his frank inner per-
sonality and intellectual makeup, as open
as a glass room. and Mr. Thayer has an in
spring work before him, to reconstruct and
bring forth again this character that every
body loved in all the variety of its charm.
He holds that John Ffske is the most i'm

When Miss Marie Manning, author OF
Judith Of the Palms. was "a girl at
boarding school, she and her ''chum" de-
termined to devote their lives to the pursuit
of literature. They decided to follow the
plan OF Balzac-namely, to eat substan-
tial dinner In the evening and retire at
once TO sleep until midnight. Upon the
stroke of that hour they would rise and
devote the rest OF the night TO labor. thus
securing the most quiet hours for work.
The plan worked admirably so far as eat
ing the dinner was concerned. They then
retired. An hour passed. Then a voice
broke the silence. Are you asleep" mo-"
was the reply. cant" Another hour
passed. Are you asleep" said the voice
again, softly. mo. can't close my eyes,"
came the gloomy reply. At midnight, how
ever, they arose and prepared for the
nights labor But they had scarcely ar
ranged their writing materials and clad
themselves appropriately than they i'm

Are you awake?" said the voice again.

discouraged litterateurs retired TO the
slumbers of the young and healthy. Thus

1.-THE relations between authors and pub
fishers are gradually becoming more like
the relations that exist between the editor
of a newspaper and the members of his
staff" said veteran newspaper man who
has gone in for fiction on the side. THE
blue pencil is used quite as strenuously as
the ak is welded in a slaughter house-and
the smile is not so inapt as II sounds.
When the book finally comes out the al
legged author realizes as he never did be-
fore, the truth Of that old adage about its
being a wise child that knows it's own IA
ther-only in this instance the condition is
reversed: it's wise writer that knows his
own novel. He doesn't even have the chance
to select his own title Some prevailing
fad must be followed, even in this respect.
Within the next few years 1 can imagine
the publisher giving out assignments to his
staff, just as the city editor Of a newspaper
gives out assignments to his reporters. 1t
will be: Here, Jones, write me a novel
like So-and-so, just published last week,
and have it In by Friday or Say, Smith,
have you read Huggins's story of adven-
ture? We want one just like it, and don't
be more than ten days about it, I'm not
altogether jocular about this, either"

is ever supposed to read. Perhaps this is
the case but, in truth, IL would be well IL
public commentators would cultivate a less
dogmatic tone in talking about what people
read or do not read. IL is tempting to spec
ulate on the subject. But well founded
suspicion that thousands of readers waste
their time on trash ought not TO lure the
critic into believing that few people read
good books. 1t is the favorite cry Of many
writers, and II is a presumptuous, parrot
like cry.
