An Amusing Life OF Maria Edxewortr

~" NHusihb Lue u MaTl1 EOSeWOrh.
Woman having made her way into the
English Men of Letters series it is but
fitting that Miss Edgeworth should have
her biography as well as George Eliot or
Fanny Burney. This has been written
very amusingly by the Hon. Emily Lawless
in Maria Edgeworth" (Macmillans). 1t is
rather startling to find so light piece Of
writing in set OF biographies marked by
solidity, and to have the author Of The
Parents Assistant Of all persons tho sub
ject Of banter but that makes Miss Law
lesss book all the more readable. She
has full sympathy for Miss Edgeworth
herself, but the people that como into her
life she must poke fun at. from the often
married R. l.. Edgeworth and Mr.. Day
OF 1Sandford and Merton to later literary
eccentrics. The author very properly
lays stress on the Irish side OF Miss Edge
worths long life; her praise Of Castle
Rackrent' is not excessive, and she will
find many to agree with her that It is a
pity that Miss Edgeworth did not continue
TO write In that vein.
Though we might wish that some points,
where accurate information could have
been impaired, had not been passed over
rather cavalierly. Miss Lawless presents
US with an attractive picture Of a very
interesting woman that Is more lifelike
and more likely to attract attention than
a more formal biography could be. It
Is probably useless to wish that moro chill
dren could read the stories their parents
delighted in. They lose a great deal in
not knowing Miss Edgeworth's prim little
heroes and heroines.

handled will last long time, whereas.

happens to get to shallow place, or
till it becomes desirable for some rea-
