Some one with taste for literary investga-
ton, and possessed also Of the judicial faculty,
might make a readable little essay out OF the
facts relating to famous controversies over his
toric figures. To what extent can the contro-
yersialists claim that they have succeeded in
convincing the world at large that their argu-
ments are sound? Here is Mr.. Alexander Car
lyle, for example, offering to the public two
volumes of new letters by the doughty Thomas,
and observing cheerfully that he believes they
will serve to remove "many prevalent miscon-
ceptions." VIII they do anything of the sort?
Oceans of ink have been spilled in criticism OF
Carlyle other oceans have been spilled In de-
fence of him; but the diSintereSted observer,
looking back over the fray, which has ragged
now for q considerable number Of years, is
fain to remark that the general conception OF
Carlyle does not seem to have suffered any
change whatever. No new evidence" that has
been brought forward has apparently modified
the current view of him. 1t is, in fact an heroic
task to get the world TO change its opinion of
anybody when once that opinion has been fixed

From The London Globe.
Time when, among the cities of
Flanders, famous for ages for their silvery bells
the bells of Brussels enjoyed pre-eminence The
city used to possess seven great peals whose
Sivery voices shed their harmonies daily over
the city. One after another however they
have disappeared. until only n single peal re
mains-that of st. JacqueS-Sur-C ondenberE
and this is never heard-silent like the rest of
the glorious bells of Belgium which once from
nearly every parish church in the land breathed
forth the soul of Flemish art in melody inspir-

through Europe. The French Revolution
wrought the ruin and condemned the land to

The Editor of 1.-The Academy and Literature"
would like some one to make scientific study
of the influence of scenery upon literature
Had Burns been born in London" he says
Dickens in Glasgow, Shakespeare in Ireland
would they have written at all, and if so, what
would they have given us2 That point is of
course, one Of merely curious speculation. But
there would be real use in studying the effect
of natural environment upon literature. u. {.
No definite result might be the outcome of
such an inquiry, yet something interesting
might come of it," Perhaps, but nothing, we
believe, that could be taken very seriously
When you have walked around anu about the
work of great author scrutinizing ii as with
Il microscope and estimating with the utmost
care the significance of this or that influence
in his career, you are still driven to admit that
the quality by virtue of which he remains a
great author is beyond scientific classification.
He may show the influence of environment
thousand times over but in the last resort this
influence means little enough. To put it in the
foreground is gravely to mislead the student, to
risk the development Of all manner of deIu-
sions. 1t is safer to leave this question where
it has hitherto rested, one merely incidental
to biographical study.

Nine Taine has just published the second OF
the volumes in which, with the aid OF his de-
lightful correspondence, she is setting forth the
record of her husbands brilliant career. In
one of the letters he says: MY comrade About
is more fortunate than 1 am The output OF
his mind is marketable. BE is a man Of the
world, and conversationalist, and thus he can
interest all readers. l am but fitted to address
a few bcOkworIns in France and Germany who
concern themselves with idea grinding" Times
have changed since Tame wrote thus IN the
early fifties. They began to change long be
fore his death. It is interesting note from
the list in this new volume, through how many
editions his works have all passed. But to-day
more. perhaps, than at any time in the nine
teenth century, is the author who, like Taine,
maintains a high standard and insists upon
writing seriously of serious things, sure of find
ing a market for his wares. We have heard
so much about the popular novelist and his
enormous profits that many of us have come to
think of him as the only decently remunerated
writer on the horizon, and we bewai the sad
tate of the mere man of letters, who cannot
afford to reYel after the fashion of his romano
ing contemporary, in beautiful country estates,
automobiles and similar joys. The mere man
Of letters, we fancy is not pining for these
things. He is content because if he is not get
ting rich neither is he suffering from neglect
and poverty. He is the contrary, more in
demand and better paid than he has ever been
before.
