Percy Fitzgerald, the late Henry Irving con-
sidered that his dramatic ideal was conclusively
expressed "It is of all things essential" the
great actor said, 'that we keep our drama sane,
and sound and sweet and wholesome. For my
part 1 say that L have always endeavored
never to produce or take part in any play that
a young fellow might not take his sister or
sweetheart to see" Mr. Fitzgerald asked him
then if he approved of IbSen, and Irving replied:
mo; frankly speaking, most distinctly do not
What life do such plays render? What lesson
of good do they convey? The playgoing public
Of England have not altogether tired of Shake
speare OF Of the wondrous lessons that he
teaches" With the drama and with the play
going public we are not concerned In this place.
but we rejoice to quote IrvingS words for their
applica biliy in the field OF literature We hear
as much in the world of books as in the world
OF the stage about the Importance of truth"
which is understood to mean freedom to touch
obnoxious subjects But the dissemination of
this sort of truth usually means the creation Of
a false view of life, AS Irving realized. man
kind sees through the sham, and instinctively
remains faithful to what is right and fine
Nevertheless it is always good to have the pre-
tensions of the Ibsens of our time. and their
parasites, exposed by one having authority.
1t is high time that the publishers took to
scrutinizing a little more closely the work OF
the rhetoricians they employ to write the pane
gyrics on the slip-cOverS of their new novels
OF course, these gentlemen must be allowed to
say of each and every book they praise that
it is a masterpiece, but at least let them state
that fact with calmness recognizing that there
are after all, different kinds of masterpieces
We take up a story and find on the cover
sentences whose fervOr admire until we dis
cover that they threaten to darken counsel. For
ourselves, we should be content to say that the
story In question possesses the humanity of
Fielding, the romance of Dumas, the reality OF
Balzac the humor of Dickens the wit of Mere
dth the style Of Thackeray and the selling
qualities of Miss Marie Corelli, but the trump
eter in charge of this particular triumph of the
human intellect would apparently consider us
grudging in the extreme. lie endeavors to con-
yey the impression that his author has also the
resources of a Milton and a Homer. Now we
submit that this is really calculated to confuse
the prospective purchaser. Can he dare to take
into the bosom of his family book compacted
of So many fiery elements? No reader could be
expected to emerge from a bout with such
tremendous work without a headache and
dispair of ever finding in literature again any
thing approaching our best sellers achievement
Something should be done The slip cover eulo-
reckon with poor human nature Incidentally,
It might be pointed out TO them that If they do
less to make their authors ridiculous they may
do more to make them salable.
New-York tribune., 1906-04-22

When Lord Lovelace published "Astarte his
book about Lord Byron, some months ago, 1t
was not put on the market in the usual fashion.
1t was printed partly for distribution among
The authors relatives and friends. For the rest
q circular was issued stating that copies might
be purchased for about SIS. few were sold
but now it seems that the book has been with
drawn from circulation far as purchase is
concerned, and Mr.. G. K Shorter, who
lucky enough TO buy three copies at the outset
doubts if it would be possible to buy copy to-
day for $500 Meanwhile Lord Lovclace's re-
viyal Of the old attack upon the memory of his
grandfather fares worse and worse at the hands
of the critics. Mr. Murray's admirable reply in
1.-The Monthly Review" OF which we printed a
summary not long ago, has been followed by
an article in the same magazine in which Mr..
Rowland Prothero, the latest editor of Byron's
letters further vindicates the poet He shows,
IN the first place, that the so-called incrmnat-
ing letters of Lord Byron were merely n kind
of inglorous efrontery on his part, intended to
give a shock TO the staid and prim wife whom
he had grown to dislike, and, secondly, that
Lady Byron fled from her husband not because
Of any suspicion against Augusta Leigh, but for
tstnlly different reasons. In short, every sue
eeEfye reply to Lord LSvelace leaves him in
snrrid plight
