Room for masterpiece! 1t is an
nOunced that Mr.. Theodore Watts
Dunton's "Aylwin' is to be included in
4 series Of books published under the
general title of THE Worlds Classics"
Now this. as Artemus Ward used to
say. is . mulch. If "Aylwin" is really
worlds classic. then it is time to turn
the history of literature upside down,
to revise the dictionary and to alto
gethcr transform criticism and the
English language. We haven't the
smallest objection to a new edition of
"Aylwin." Let it be reprinted over ana
over again, if there is 4 demand for it,
But let US at least preserve some sense
of perspective. Presumably even Mr..
theodore Watts Dunton himself would
be willing To admit that q hundred
works of fiction quite as good as this
novel Of his have been published since
it first made its appearance :.t if he
were the editor of q series "r The
Worlds Classics" would he take all or
any of them into the fold? He would
probably be among the first to protest
that such indiscriminate amiability
would be fatal to the preservation of
critical standards. But perhaps he
realizes that. after al. 4 Series" no
matter how pompously named, cannot
confer immortality.-NeW York
