the mark when he says Of his hero that he was
so simple. so natural. SO modest. destitute of
personal pretension and of what Is called the
consciousness of powers, that one almost
doubted at moments whether he were a man of
genius after all" These few words are alone
wildly descriptive but we cannot refrain from
quoting more from what follows Everything
good and truthful lay near to him; he was In

without that eagerness of seIf-reference which
sometimes accompanies great. and even small

personality Of its prevailing tone; you feel that
the author has the detachment from his per
sonages that Is characteristic Of all creative
Masters. But IL you respond to the humanity
that Is IN Turgenief, II you allow his books to
become part OF your experience, instead Of hold
ing them at arms length, as so many literary
phenomena, you will find It impossible to recall
a page Of them without recalling the personality
Of the man who wrote them. This is, after all.
only another way Of saying that TUrgenief has
charm; that he wins you by virtue of a quality

partly to pure art and partly to the authors

tenderness exert a peculiar influence Mr..
James tells US in his introduction a good deal
about Turgenief the man. and says, among
other things, Il found him adorable" This IS
the irritating blemish upon most engaging
bit OF portraiture. and We are not any more in
clined to accept 1t because another friend Of the
novelist. himself Russian. is said by Mr.. James
to have applied the same epithet to Turgenief.
We decline. even on the authority OF those who
knew him. TO think of that giant as adorable;
there Is too much IN the word that savors Of
frOs- froG and precocity. Mr.. James comes nearer

Miss Hapgood has had much experiences IN
Ganslating from the Russian: she has entered
into the spirit of Turgenier. and the putting of
his works into English has been for her we
imagine, a labor of love. Certainly she gives Us
prose that is as fluent IT Is sound. prose with
an atmosphere, prose that is delightful to read.
Her prefaces are brief, intelligent and In good

In his first paragraph Mr.. James quotes the

1t Is fine saying. and, In a measure, il is a
true one: but even with the whole of the passage

that IT might easily misiead- If you look at
