of traversing in this place so much of 1t
as is unrolled in the four volumes of PurchaS

edition. But at least we may glance at the
source of that charm which makes the old Eng
lishman's 'Labryinthian Perrambulations thor

as readable romance. Purchas is, no doubt
rather difficult reading if you do not take nat
uraly to his quaint diction, and there is more
brag than accuracy about his claim to having
out of a Chaos of confused intelligences framed
this Historical World" IF these pages are not
precisely chaotic in their tumble of facts and
observations. neither are they lucidity itself in
matters of broad arrangement or in the state
ment of details But this is one reason why
Purchas, like Hakluyt, is so charming. In read
ing the narratives they brought together, one
seems to be watching distant spectacle. The
scene is so far off that it is impossible to grasp
the subtlest significance of every actor In 1t;
clouds obscure this or that episode and things
happen the full meaning of which must he

time the sun is shining somewhere in that Won

ure of an heroic age. 1t is because the spirit

OF Glasgow, had similar enterprise in view
was received with dfsmay. Members of the So
ciety feared that if both editions were prepared
neither OF them would be altogether desirable
An arrangement was thereupon made between
the two parties concerned in the matter and
the work of reprinting Hakluyt went forward
at Glasgow alone. Nothing could have been
more satisfactory. The MacLehose HakIuvt
turned out to be perfect and what is moro tho
success OF the venture encouraged the publish
ers further to exploit the same field. They have
started a reprint in twenty volumes of the great
work of Purchas, the first four volumes of which
we have just received from the MacmflIans. and.
incidentally they have issued a new edition of
Coryat in two volumes, which the same agents
prlng out In this country On the whole it was
fortunate decision which relieved the Hakluvt
society OF heavy task, thereby enabling If Tn
give more attention to its regular responsibiIi-
ties, and gave resourceful publishing house an
added impetus in the direction of reviving the
carrier classics of travel. These new editions
from Glasgow are beautifully made Produced
with the amplest editorial care, printed in good
type on good paper and freely illustrated with
facsimiles of old portraits and maps they make
the best possible monuments to certain pecuI
iarly engaging figures in the history of English
literature
Hakluyt is, of course. the patron saint Of all
lovers of old travel books, but Samuel Purcbas
comes next to him an object of grateful af
lection in this province OF reading He had

enthusiasm and exercised industry by virtue
of which he is to be honored as Hakluyt him

things about this Samuel Purchas, Clarke,

without tempting the perils of the sea Gwen

travellers and travels never travelled 200 miles

But what he lacked in experience he made up
by the simple process of taking pains, by read
ing much and by asking many questions. He
had worked with Hakluyt, and when the latter
died he left Purchas good deal of material as
the title page of the interchangeable "Clarke's"
compilation clearly indicates. Moreover, Pur-
chas was a of imagination. What world
