Justice to the Historical Novel.

Publishers, casting up their accounts,
ind that last years business was large
and profitable. Many books were print
ed and sold. 1t is asserted that there were
'ew failures among all the works pro-
iuced-failures, that is, from financial
standpoint. The publishers do not ven-
ture the assertion that all the books were
successful as literary productions. They
content themselves with the declaration
that the average Of merit was respecta-
BILE and We may accept the statement as
Just. 1t is probable, thinks the Chicago
Chronicle, that the literary output never
before presented such dead level OF re-
spectacle mediocrity as characterizes it
to-day. There are few absolutely worth
less books; there are no great books.
Looking back over the literary output Of
1903 only two books recall themselves
to memory as distinguished above the
rest by reason of their subject matter
or their style. Senator Hoar's "Remin-
iscences of Seventy Years" is one OF the
two; Morley's Life of Gladstone" is
the other. Neither is popular book
and neither is likely to achieve circu-
lation equal to that enjoyed by many
pieces of contemporary fiction. 1t Is
contemporary fiction however, which
brings the contemporary literary stand
ard up to fairly good average. 1t is
said that everybody is writing histori-
cal novels, and though the statement is,
Of course, an exaggeration, it is true
enough to furnish an explanation for
the relatively good quality of the grist
of fiction. In the historical novel, that
IS to say, the writer finds the main incl
dents of his story ready made for him.
His background is, SO to speak, sketched
In and he has only to supply the details.
His imagination is not heavily drawn
upon and if he possesses respectable
knowledge of the mechanics of litera-
ture-if he knows how to put words to-
gether grammatically and with some sp-
pearance of skill-his novel is likely to
be mildly entertaining II can hardly
be absolutely stupid. for the events OF
history are not stupid. Consequently,
the historical novel, so far from being
the legitimate object Of persifage, de-
serves our commentator. So long as
novelists stick to history we shall have
no recurrence of the odoriferous and
imbeeile trash which passed current as
fiction few years ago.
