nbedded in the readers mind viii do more than
anything else TO keep him in sympathy with the
author. Mr.. Montague has not thought it his

modern conception Of history differs in several
respects from Macaulay's. that MacauIay a

strong and emphatic language" lie maintains
that it is "a kind of bad manners To he forever
harplng on the faults Of "A great writer" In
all this he seems 10 to be right. For some
years it has been the fashion to patronize
Macaulay. Matthew Arnold started the prac-
tice. He had authority for doing so. No one
denies that both as historian and essayst
Macaulay had his Limitations and some regret
table mannerisms. But only very foolish critics
could deny him extraordinary merits. and one Of
these. the power To be interesting: on high
grounds. is by itself potent enough TO place his
essays among the best in the language. Mr..
Montague not only approaches them with sym
pathy in q long introduction. but uses perfect
discretion in his notes. The three volumes have
all the charm OF a new book.

almost as cordial a reception. This is not so
artistic a production; it wants the literary
quality that belongs to the other book. But in
poignancy The Fugitive loses nothing i'm com

human interest is its salient merit. The authors
disposition to be pathetic is. perhaps. his salient
fault We have spoken before Of the tendency

this author gives impression Of truth. His
hero is a Lithuanian Jew who is left an orphan
