His want of reality, his habit of walking on tha clouds, the airiness of his metaphysics. the indefiniteness of his knowledge, his neglect of transitions, the looseness of his political reasonings-all this made up an alarming cheval de frise. It would almost seem Lord Acton thought Tennyson never wrote a line of gen. uine poetry in his life. poetry after all being bottomed in sense. This is not an occasion to challenge Acton's opin- ion and controvert it. The best man. ner of controverting such a cynic. would be to set out some lines of Ten nyson showing that there beats on his verses light that never was on sea or land. If such verses were imme- dlately available there is no space here for them. We may leave Tennyson to go to an expression of Actons passion ate, fond liking for his correspondents father, Gladstone: T hope you have not many correspondents as unmerci- full as l am. or as much inclined to for- get that you are living the most inter- esting of lives, by the fntensest blaze of light in all the world" We have here the keynote whenever Gladstone

Letters of Lord Acton to Mary Gladstone Tn,

The name of Lord Acton has for many years possessed a vague charm for students of English politics and literature. For the last quarter of a century intermittent references to him have occurred in magazines and in pub lished "reminiscences, and whenever d mention was made ones curiosity was piaued but never satisfied. He loomed large in the background of English life, a sort of demiurge, propelling opinion. He had MT. Gladstone's con- science, that elusive thing, in his keep ing.
 He was a devout Romanist, and one of the most learned man of his time Some found antipoda1 matter here. He was a pupil and disciple of Dollinger. He had engaged Manning controver- sially.
 Lord Acton emerged from the dim, obscure of this reputation to take the chair of modern history at Cambridge. He there undertook to edit the Cam bridge History" a monumental. if not altogether admirable work. He did not live long enough to write the in- troduction nor did he see in print single volume of those that have ap- peared. He died at the age of 67.
 A daughter of MT. Gladstone has re- gently given to the world a collection
 
 of letters written to her by Lord Acton. and those who have for long wondered about a unique personality are fur nished by Mrs. Drew with good sub stantive materiol in these letters for the formation of opinion IL would be too high praise to say this volume Is, with a bound. become a possession of English literature. There is not here any of Byron's abandon, of Cowper's fine simplicity. of Shelleys mounting ease. of Cherterfield's chastened world ly sense, of Wampole's acid, biting manner. nor of Charles Lambs inten- tional but always delicious humor. These letters grew instantly out of the ocasion and they contribute the rarest bit of reading that has been seen for many a day, simply because they reveal to us and put us near the best English society of our time. That Is no more and no less than to say thy set us down in the midst of eIrels that with

, every abatement must be reckoned the elite of our race. This opinion may be changed to anglomania. Let 1t be. There is another charm in London than the boots worn there or the clothes with which the inhabitants apparel themselves. London has the charm of 1 ideas playing not alone over a long and varied past, but over as well the wide range of interests. material, in- tellectual and moral embodied in the British Empire. One need not be sur prised to hear privately-it Is not q betrayal of confdepee-that Ambassa,- dor Choate is infatuated with England; :; that he expresses no regret at his sep aration from dear New York with all its deep engulfment in things of the mind; that the privacy of life over there, the play of mind within that privacy. has so won upon him and charmed him, he has determined-let that pass.
 The most striking thing about Lord Acton's letters is they are addressed to woman. It is not superhuous to say he was married. and so was the lady. Correspondents in like case with them are not at all uncommon in Eng land. With all our boasted freedom of the sex. women get a higher regard in than Wllu IneSe letters prove this. That Mrs. Drew was Glad stones daughter. of course, fetched her attentions she would not ordinarily have had paid her and secured from Ac- ton himself utterances that we may safely take to have been aimed at a larger target. Nevertheless. there is here fitness of confidence an unreservedness in putting mind to mind, the like of which we do not recall in American life as displayed between the men O. house and the women of that house or another. May the Adonis people be taken as an exception? We know. however. from the big body of Iitera- ture making up English memoirs and "reminiscences, that Mary Gladstone ia merely one of the many.

 If you see Madame Washington you will find her a very pleasant specimen of American womanhood. Her husband wants the qualities that charm and win at first, and l suppose he will not hold his own long. He has no dash, no en- train. no personal ascendency, like the men who succeed in France; but there is not deeper scholar or a more sin cere and straightforward Christian, in the country" Later he tells Mrs. Drew that Washington Is the only French man who ever compelled Mommsen to confess error and bow.

they were gone. And the progress of the science Is of more use to us than the idIosyncrasy of the man. ]. Beyond the wishes of the Democrats there are the doctrines of Democracy, doctrines which push things towards certain consequences without help from local or temporary or accidental mo- tives. There Is a state built on demo- cratic principles, and a society built, largely, on anti-democratic elements, clergy and aristocracy. Those ele- ments of society must needs reach up- on the State; that is, try to get polit- ical power and use it to qualify the De- mocracy of the Constitution. And the state power must needs try to react on society, to protect itself against the hostile elements. This Is a law of Ma ture and the vividness and force with which we trace the motion of history depends on the degree to which we look beyond persons and fix Jour gaze on things. Seeley is as sick as am of the picturesque scenery of the historians of sense, but he does not like to go straight at the impersonal forces which rule the world, such as predes- tination, equality, divine right. secu- larism. congregatlonalism, nationality. and whatever other ruling ideas have grouped and propelled associations tof men"

We encounter Morley. He is a sceptic; his studies are all French, eighteenth century. in political economy he is a bald Cobdenite, and will do scant justice to the political aspects of the French treaty; he has the obstinacy of a very honest mind" These words recall Lowelrs estimate of Morley given us in the letters. as a man whose axe-like face condemns be- yond appeal, if you fail in your re- sponse to the moral judgment.
