We could wish the publishers little Of

- ointed times" but custom is ineXoraDle,
eno The flood of new books will begin in Sep
sember-not a day before. Meanwhile one
NAV take stock of what the last six months
have brought forth. The mass is sifted in "Ihe
Academy and looking over it we observe that
it signifies a fair average season. Nothing eS-
,traordinary has appeared, hut much readable
matter has got itself printed. ''The Academy
advances the opinion, often expressed in these
columns that "the best work nowadays is be-
Eng done in biography, history, criticism and
works that combine creation with compilation.
1t is true that we constantly have occasion to
protest against writing that is called "criti-
cism" and has as matter of fact, no critical
value. But there can be no question about
the general excellence of the bulk of the work
which the English editor has in mind Ii only
something could be done to keep the biogra-
pliers from hurrying into the market with
couple of fat volumes about this or that celeb
rity Just gathered to his fathers there would
be little fault to find with the numerous Lives"
that see the light. AS it is, a reaction would
seem to be setting in, the single volume biogra-
phy being much commoner than it was q few
years ago. 1t would be q good thing if the
publishers would issue document indicating
the sales of the memoirs and historical studies
they have recently printed. We believe 1T
would give great encouragement to lovers of
serious literature, proving what we have al
ways maintained, that there is large public
Indifferent to ordinary fiction and quick to sup
port every really thoughtful volume.
New-York tribune., 1906-08-12

Evidently we are to witness a recrudeScence
of the Intrusion of the author" in current tc-
ton. In more than one popular novel the con-
venent aside" is exploited with unmistakabe
gustO. OF course, the expedient has been used
over and over again, and, to certain extent,
st must always remain part and parcel of the
nOvelist's craft; but there is such a thing as
discretion in these matters The authors COM
mentary upon the characters or deeds of his
own puppets may easily be OverdOne. 1t is
nonsense to drag in Thackeray, as so many are
prone to do when they seek excuse for TAX
ing their readers by the sleeve for a moments
confidential chat. Thackeray was a master and
justified his method by the sheer force of his
genius. Smaller men should eScheW q practice
that Smacks of cOmplacency, and is indeed,
more mpertinent than amusing in feeble
hands. Let the novelist be content TO tell his
story, leaving the reader to his own devices.
Sidelong appeals for sympathy, for the eStab-
lishment of a common understanding where the
foibles of fictitious character are concerned,
only suggest insncerity and expose modifying
shadows Tie safest course is for the author
to stick to the matter in hand and allow the
coloring of his work by his personality to take
care of itself.
