The advantages of the new system OF criticism,
are manifest In each the reviewer has read
the book which he criticises. and cannot be ac-
cused OF lack of familiarity with his subject. Each
critic moreover, feels free to speak his mind and
is not restrained by too nice consideration for
the sensbilities of the author. There will be no
hard feelings whatever he says. Fancy, also the
advantage of having a critic like Henry James TO
explain what Henry Jamess stories mean.
The school of self-critcism should be encouraged.
