got paid like a man her view point
would be somewhat different"
New York has been entertaining dur
ing the past few days an unusual
number of out-of-to town authors; not in
a body, but just in the course of
things Most of the we'll known writer's
about the country visit their publish
ers now and then, and a favorite sea-
son is that of the holidays. Perhaps
the custom of making royalty pay
rnents about the first of the year
makes it possible for many of the
writer's to make their holidays a more
enjoyable occasion. Lloyd Osborne
comes all the way from California to
spend few days in New York. Alice
Caldwell Hogan Rice, recently married
had just concluded several weeks stay
in the city which must have been
gladdened by the fact that she has
made a record for her publishers. Her
Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage Patch is
said to be the best selling book her
publishers ever had. Booth Harrington
spends deal of time in the East and
has only recently returned to Indiana.
Henry Harland will remain in New
York for two or three weeks yet. Mr..
Dooley Dunno has taken up perma-
nent residence here. a good many
miles away from A-archy Road, but 1t
does not seem to make any difference
with the quality or popularity of his
"Obseryationa" Probably more au-
thors live in New York city than in
any three other cities. and there is
scarcely a time when some visiting
members of the craft are not to be
found here.

Certainly one of the most remarka-
BILE books of the past season is Citizen
George Francis Trains my Life in
Many States and Many Lands" die
tated, so the preface states, in some
thirty hours. The other day Citizen
Train explained that he wanted to call
his book, 'Why / Am a Lunatic," and
surely those who read the life story
of this man are tempted to believe
that this title would have been a fit
ting one. The publishers would not
agree to the title the author suggested,
however, and the reader is left to ac-
cept the book as sober fact Citizen
Train is the author of several books,
but he is not yet content with the
sum of his literary labors. He now
proposes to write hundred books. in
which he shall make a comprehensive
review of the past century. If he can
write these hundred books as rapidly
as he wrote his recent Life" no
doubt he will carry out his desire.

now only 73 years young.
Lovers of Kings English and of
English letters will welcome heartily
Prof. Saintsbury's able defense of
English literature in his recently pub
lished second volume of "A History Of
Criticism"
I'm presenting the second volume of
this attempt" says Prof Saintsbury,
ct fell no conjunction and offer no
apology, for what may seem to some
the surprisingly large space given to
the English critics. That the book it.
self is intended primarily for English
readers would be but a poor spirited
plea; and the greatness of English
literature as a whole, though worth
Ter, is still an unnecessary argument.
For the fact is that the positive value
and Importance of English criticism
itself are far greater than has usual
ly been allowed. Owing very mainly
to the not unintelligible or inexcusa-
BILE. but unfortunate, initiative of
Mathew Arnold, it has become a fash
ion to speak of this branch of the ma
tional genius which 1t expresses with
bated breath. and with humble ac-
acknowledgement of the superiority of
German, and still more of French crit
les. This superiority, say
without the slightest fear, is a
fond thing vainly invented. English
criticism was rather late, and for a
long time rather intermittent; nor did
it fail. after the manner of the nation,
to derive fresh impulses and new de-
partures in the sixteenth century from
italian, in the seventeenth and again
the nineteenth from French, and at
the end of the eighteenth from German.
But it is not true that in so much as
one of these cases it was contended
slavishly to initiate; and 1t is not true
that, with the possible exception Of
-Beuve, foreign countries have
had any critics greater than our own,
while they have, even put together.

THE LITERARY OUTLOOK
Best Books of the YearAn Able Defense of English Cr
cism-Miss Daskam Women's Rights
Authors Visiting New York
By HERBERT WALLACE.

In spite of the fact that 1t is yet
too early in the new year to pass judg-
ment on the books of 1902, the list of
the best fifty books" are beginning
to appear. 1t is impossible that such
lists are at all accurate, because the
past season closed only a week ago,
and is not at all unlikely that some
very good books came into being too
late to receive much attention before
the end of the year. On one point
alone are the critics likely to agree
without doubt they will all put the
year down as the greatest yet in the
history of publishing in the number ~
volumes issued. 1t is that very fact,
however, the fact of enormous and
constantly increasing output, that
makes it more and more difficult to
predict length of life or the qualities
of endurance to any one book or list
of books. The average life of a book
is growing shorter, if one may be par
doned, the contradictory terms, year
by year. Instead of a novels selling
for several seasons, as was the custom
formerly, it is remarkable for one to
live in popular demand more than six
months.
The twelve best books of the year in
England, according to the London
Academy's voting. contest, shows a
Boston womans work in first place.
The voting in detail is as follows:
