tclassic In a modern imitation of the ancient
form in which he was first published. The
newest book of the sort is to be an edition OF
the ''Trionf" of Petrarch, in an English trans

an original Illuminated page, and so on. We
ought to be overwhelmed with bliss at the
prospect and we are that the book viii
give illimitable pleasure to many collectors.
Nevertheless, we must go on feeling that while
an Illuminated page has its charms-in an ant
cient vOlume-there is nothing like mere good
type and paper for modern publication. 1t is
not simply that they make reading an easy,
peaceful thing They are, just by themselves,
beautiful. After ALL is there anything in the
world more exquiSitely refreshing to a lover
of literature than an honest clear, well pro-

New-York tribune., 1906-08-19

Mr. w. 81. Mallock, writing in 1.-THE National
Review" makes an interesting comparison of
Mr.. Alfred Austin and the late Lord Tenny
son. This well meant paper, 1.-TWO Poet Lau-
reates on Life,' may easily offend the Tenny
sOnians. We can hear them saying, "Why
drag in Austin?' But we are glad Mr. MaIlOck
has written this essay if for no other reason
than that it offers lesson in literary good man
nerS 10 many critics who are unqueStiOnably in
need Of such instruction II is quite true that
IL you find n mans poetry bad it is in no wise
comforting to be told, as Mr.. MallOck tells
us OF Mr. Austin, that he is a good scholar and
TinSuiSt an experienced traveller, "an unusual
Iy acute student Of foreign politics." an ad-
lnirabe prose writer, etc, etc. But on the
other hand is il necessary to heave a brick at
him in mere wantOn insult? Is it polite, or
even intelligent, to ignore the good verse he has
written and to hoOt at him as though ne were
a kind of literary pariah? Mr. Austin has, we
own. put our manners severely to the test
There is verse of a certain sort that exciteS
utter weaFiness, rising suddenly TO righteous
wrath and we fear that the present laureate
knows how to write such verse But at least
let us take it as Mr.. MallOck takes it; let us
give it it's chance, read il, consider it, and, if
we must find fault let us do SO like gentlemen
The literary agent, whatever his virtues or
vices may be, serves at least one good pur-
poSe-he is the cause of elOquence in Others
Readers who are interested in the subject well
remember the point and vigOr with which Mr.
Henry Holt paid his compliments to the agent
In his Atlantic paper on 'TThc CommercaIi
zatOn Of Literature" A word on the other
side is spoken in the current 'Fortnightly," the
anonymous contributor to the subject being
himself a practitioner Of the deadly or benef-
cent, craft 1t is all very exhilarating for the
disiltercsted outsider, but If he happens to
have thought the matter over at all he cannot
help feeling that the professional debaters are
arguing in circle. Much as we hate to bur
den the world with the reiteration of the fact
that two and two make four, we must repeat
what we have often said that the literary
agent is desirable or not according as the indi-
Vid'a author is pleased or disguSted with his
minisIadOnS. We have heard fearful stories
of the poor creature, but then only the other
day we heard a successful novelist saying that
he simply could not do without the help his
agent gave him. Experience is the only thing
that teaches in this matter. There will be lit
erary agents. good and bad. as long as the
printing presses hold out
